is there any real justification for including the onion graphic? i am going to remove it soon if there is not. mnemonic 12:00, 2004 Jul 6 --165.139.44.59 (talk) 15:48, 24 January 2008 (UTC)--165.139.44.59 (talk) 15:48, 24 January 2008 (UTC)jkwat ana ass is (UTC)

We can't keep it. It's very funny, but this is an encyclopedia, not a jokebook. I also don't think the fair use argument washes - the graphic is the whole joke, not an excerpt. Stan 12:42, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I am very disappointed that no one has mentioned that this fish can kill people. I took the liberty of adding it in, although not very professionaly.

Question: Very intersting artile, but I would be interested in learning more about the odontology of this species. Just how many teeth are we talking about here -- a few or tens or scores? Does it vary? Are they in rows? Etc. -alex

[edit] Snakehead removal with Peroxide?

I was curious about the removal of Snakeheads. They said in the article in the article that using Rodeo or Roundup. That said something about less dissolved oxygen. In that case would putting a large amount of Hydrogen Peroxide kill them as well? It should be better the environment to do as it's not generally toxic. Here's the articles on using Hydrogen Peroxide in fish tanks as a way to kill bacteria and algae on plants. (It also can kill plants in fish if not done at the correct amount.) http://www.malawicichlidhomepage.com/aquainfo/algae_peroxide.html http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6T4D-4JDN69Y-X&_user=10&_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&view=c&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=7688903bd7681d0d556715a021e5b71c Does this seem viable to anyone else? Just curious. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.185.240.84 (talk) 16:44, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Channiformes

In my creation of the article Eochanna, my research told me that Channidae is a member of the order Channiformes, not Perciformes. Sounds logical to me. See these links:

Spoke too soon:

"Nelson (1994, 2006) does not use the ordinal name Channiformes, but rather Suborder Channoidei (TSN 162835), placed within Order Perciformes (TSN 167640)" Bob the Wikipedian (talk) 19:51, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
