is their a fish that can walk i think its some kinda snake headed fish?

Answer 1

Yes, snakeheads and also "walking catfish". When a body of water they are in dries up they can "walk" on their fins to another one. They don't really walk, but wallow along on hard, spiny fins, as they can survive breathing air. These are both considered invasive species that can disrupt and destroy natural ecosystems. Neither one is native to north america and were introduced here from Asia. They can be real pests because they are very voracious and can eat a lot of native fish and plants, then "walk" to another body of water and do it again!

Answer 2

There are several types of fish that can leave the water for a short time... one is the mudskippers--they can kind of "walk" on the bottom of the sea floor, but can also spend several days out of the water before having to return. There is also the climbing gourami, which some think might even be able to climb trees! There are some walking catfish, but they use their fins to help move. One type of this walking catfish is the type that you're thinking about--the Northern snakehead and are an invasive species.

Answer 3

I saw a fish on the discovery channel that actually walked using its front two fins . He kinda pushed himself up on land to a puddle . Layed eggs I think and went back . Its been awhile since I saw it and I can't remember the species of fish .

I did a google search and you are right , snake head fish can walk out of the water to a puddle for short periods of time They are found here in the USA and are thought of as a nuisance like carp .

Answer 4

There are a few types of fish that can survive out of water for some length of time. I know of a catfish (Clarias batrachus) that has been known to walk on land.

Answer 5

They actually "flop" as much as walk, but it can be one of several members of species generally called "snakeheads". These are considered invasive species in the US, they grow to 3-4 feet, are piscivorous (eat other fish), and have become problems wherever they've been released into ponds (probably by owners who didn't find out how large these fish got and how much it costs to feed them). In the ponds, they eat the other fish present, then "flop" overland in to other bodies of water nearby (streams, rivers). There have been documented cases of multiple released snakeheads breeding in US waterways.
