I lean towards Marulius because of the "spots" on the fins.
Argus seem to be more "greenish".

Honestly not sure.

I can see Melasoma, Striata and/or Baramensis.

Since DC leans towards Melasoma, that's probably right, he knows his channas. :)

Still very young , in striata of these size a clear line of white belly and brown upper body can be seen which is absent here, but it might be regional difference,
