How to catch Obscure Snakehead

Use the Fishing Rod. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.

1. Cast the Fishing Rod into the right water: rivers and lakes for freshwater fish, coastal waters for saltwater fish.
2. Wait for the nibbles, then strike when the line bites down.
3. Higher-quality saltwater fish need a slow reel-in. Keep the line from snapping instead of holding the button down.

The Obscure Snakehead bears a striking resemblance to the northern snakehead, commonly known as fishzilla.

Those who have kept both species say that Obscure Snakeheads tend to be more docile than northern snakeheads and rarely display aggressive behavior behind the glass.

However, given their longer snout, it's likely that they depend less on their vision. Therefore, what keepers perceive as "more docile" might simply be a case of poor vision.
