Hey everyone, I'd like opinions on this snakehead, The supplier who has them has them listed as "b grade" channa barca,

The same guy has shown me pictures of he "a grade" Barca, and they look 100% barcas, he also sells stewerti, and auranti provided pic's seems to know the correct species id's.

So any thought's what this guy is? It doesn’t look quite barca to me, although doesn’t look much like any stewerti or auranti I’ve seen either,


Any thought's on these guy’s ?
 
clearer pictures would be nice. my guess is aurantimaculata, though!
 
HI,

stewartii variant.

Cheers
 
these are cheaper then most species on the list, so i dont think it's a money scam just a confusing common title, My bet's were on them being stewarti or "Channa cf. barca" the price on them isnt high at all, unlike the "a grade barca" which is clearly real barca, (with the price to match)

sorry for the poor pic's just using what i was given, I might just scoop up a group of them, see what they turn out to be
 
i thought the cf barca variant was more grey and a lot more blue, especially on the top fin. I would guess some other sterartii variant
