LOL, thanks guys for the reply and for those funny2 replies...hahaha
gt the anti chlorine and hope it will survive..
and yea, tomans, haruans and those kinds prefer dirty water then clean one..
i had reared a few haruans before and everytime after cleaning the water they will knock the aquarium glass hard until once my 4ft tank broke....

and not sure about the swans, but once in tasik kenyir m'sia, tomans were believed to eat a dead body thrown into the lake...
nt sure if its a true story though but the lake is currently not allowed for fishing i think..

If you ask me, I think toman aka snakehead is one of the most viscious freshwater fish in the world judging by the way it feeds. In the western world, it's considered a species to rid off at all costs. Catch the feeding sessions on youtube and be awed by the gory scenes. Not for the faint-hearted though.
