[edit] Comment

From the oldest version:

Trachinocephalus myops is known to be an aggressive predator and considered an invasive species. It is capable of surviving four days out of water and is prized by some cooks for its ability to remain fresh in this way.Washington Post

This was deleted for a reason. The newspaper article was discussing a freshwater fish of the genus Channa of the family Channidae, while this article is about a marine fish, Trachinocephalus myops, from a completely different family (the Synodontidae). They both happen to be called (sometimes) "snakefish". But the Washington Post article is definitely not about the subject of this Wikipedia entry, so not even remotely relevant.
