Channa diplogramma ID?

[lookslikeadude]

I bought these as Channa diplogramma but I am not sure if they are so can anyone ID these? They were supposedly imported from India. They had more spots when smaller and they are about 5 to 6" now and eat like pigs if that helps any. I sure hope they are diplo's as I paid 4 times too much if they turn out to be micros.

It should be diplogramma because you said it was import from India and that's where they are from.

They came from a vendor in Winnipeg and all 5 are currently residing in the 230 gallon. These fish came from 2 batches that were supposedly imported from india within the last 9 months and I previously got an Id on them as being diplo's but the fish picuture I used before came from the vendor and I just posted it here for id and everybody said diplo so I decided to get some. A few months later I bought them and this is what I have but now the ID has come into question if they are diplo's or micros.

Yes these are diplogramma , look after them this latest batch is the last that will be exported from India , as they have just done a species study and found they are extremely endangered in the wild and are due to be put on c.I.t.e.s. and no one has managed to commercial breed them as yet .

These are diplos.. I have been trying to breed them in captivity for last 6 months. Needs a huge area to breed them.
