So bowfin and gars are not common in the area? I am quite interested
more in competition between bowfin and snakehead [and gars to a lesser
extent] since they have pretty similar lifestyle [airbreathing
predator capable to thrive in shallow still water]. It is interesting
that in Africa snakeheads have only a few species and they diversify
mainly in Asia. Do you guys think bichirs, climbing perches and
walking catfishes give them a hard time over there in Africa?
