interesting snakehead. Kinda looks like orientilis (sp?) but i noticed the fins on his underside. So i was thinking gachua. how big is it?
 
it's around 7"-8" and still growing,it's not gachua i used to keep one of these and that stopped growing at 6"-7" and looked and behaved totally different to this one,he swims around with my oscars quite happily whereas my old gachua was very secretive,this one should be channa melasoma and get to 12"-14"
 
i did a little research as to what i think it is and i think its a channa melasoma
