ID This Snakehead!

[AngryConvict]

Well, back from a tour of fish shops with justarn and ended up coming home with a snakehead without an ID that came in with a batch of channa andrao...

We figured it's most likely a channa stewartii / blue galaxy. He has a huge dorsal compared to the andrao, and a stunning blue colour once more comfortable. Would appreciate it if anyone knows for sure! More pictures will follow as he colours up and gets settled. This is what he looks like strait out the bag!

It's Channa andrao,,,, a male

Are ya certain on that? He looked a hell of a lot different, and considerably bigger than the andrao they had in stock, what identifiers are you going off?

 

[justarn]

Looking at Google images he does look more andrao today Oliver.

 

[AngryConvict]

Might be right, bloody expensive andrao then!

 

[justarn]

What were the andrao 35£? Really nice looking compared to the others tho, maybe they were females. If you like it what's £15-20.
