I saw one at a pet shop in vegas and it looks something like a butis butis but it has a longer snout and teeth. Also it had the same long streamers like a gourami and it breaths from the surface. I'm trying to see if I can find a pic of it but anybody wanna take a guess?

I saw them at an LFS in japan i'm not sure of the scientific name, but for the longest time i was translating the name as "Clock dial gourami" and couldn't figure out why they would call it that. Then it hit me...Crocodile gourami.
Odd looking fish.

Sorry i dont have anymore info for you.
 
Luciocephalus pulcher

No but you can see the teeth when you look closely.
