These things are just a few generations away from evolving into ACORN members.

This is the fish known to Thais as ‘pla chon’
It is a very valuable fish throughout SEA .
They are used extensively as pickled fish and dried fish .
Millions of Asians enjoy eating this fish every day .
If they could be harvested and shipped to Thailand , Cambodia , Vietnam , Laos and Burma there would be an endless market .
Especially if the pickling process could be done in factories
here in America . S.E. Asians know how to do this very well.
This is a HUGE business opportunity.

Snakehead fish are aggressive predators. They can survive for short periods of time on land, and can crawl. They're known to eat birds, frogs, tadpoles, earthworms, small mammals and other fish. Turn a few hundred feral hogs loose in that area. We'll see who is the predator.
