anyone can identify this snakehead to me?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have that same type of snakehead, which i asked a few months ago. The lfs calls it "5-star" toman, dude to the 5 silver ringed spots on the body. It now looks rather like a marulias now that mine is bigger, but i think i will have to take a picture of it.
 
i have an idea..buy whatever species u came across at the LFS which claim to be 5 star toman, jalai, maruloides, marulia be it from thailand, indonesia etc..then take pic of it and compare..i'm going to do that soon..cos too many commercial bred..anyone has 2-3 kinds of the species around 1' then we can see the difference
 
lol.... current 1... channa marulioides

hermandrum..nice maruloides..with 6 flowers band..what about d other side of the body ? have d same amount of black band ? tat day i went to d LFS saw a 1' maruloides with LH & RH 6 black bands but sad to say...d fish was blind...injured by hook...so i did not purchased it..only rm20 !!
 
actually due to the position of the eyes...most hooked snakehead will be blind one side. Very sad. BTW do you know where can I find good quality Toman Bunga?
