Can I get an ID please guys

I still have some doubts about the fish being Channa micropeltes. The coloration and non-pattern of the fins and the fins have a white (or perhaps yellow) outline seems to suggest to me that it is not the giant snakehead.

One thing which I would like to ask... does the tape worms also affect coloration/appearance of the fins??

It is a Micro. Melasoma has different colour/markings (although this specimen is very washed) and much more pronounced nostril tubes.

From my experience, my micro coloration starting to look dull and not 'fresh' all over his body when affected. And I asume that he is at the first stage of infection. Not like this one. And one more think his behavior to eat really like a monster. He will ate more than the others. He will pop the tape worm out but still have it inside his stomach. At that time I don't know how to medicate him and I just pull it out using tweezer. And I manage to pull the live tape worms! And after a week he starting to recover and look fresh.

And thats what happen to mine.

How about you calc? How did you manage to deformed it? Please share

I hope if the fish is intended for sale, the seller at least has the decency to deworm the fish FIRST.
