Best Answer

Most fish can survive quite long periods without food but all will eventually starve to death if they don't eat for long enough. If your snakehead is not eating and it has been with you for some time (over a week), then I would assume you are failing to provide the fish with the correct water parameters and environment. My advice is for you to do some research and find out what special requirements are needed for snakeheads and then provide them.

yes they can live outside of water, and move outside of water, but not for long. They have the ability to breathe out of water, but they cannot move outside of water.
