Larvae of aquatic insects, tadpoles, shrimps, larvae and so on feed on the larvae with a body length of less than 3 to 8 cm, while commercial fish with a body length of more than 20 cm prey on all kinds of small fish and frogs, that is, small fish mainly refer to crucian carp, rice strips, red-eyed trout, loach and all kinds of young fish.

The swimming speed of snakehead is slow, but it usually hides near aquatic plants or other hidden objects, and pays close attention to the movement around it.
