No white dots in the pectorals. Head shape also differs from C. bankanensis. C. bankanensis also has 2 rows of spots but the spots of the snakeheads in the picture are much more irregular and less circular.Do they have black and white dots in the pectoral fins?
They remind me of C. bankanensis.
Yep. Don't match either. I have seen Channa panaw in person and these are definitely not it. C. punctata is closeish though.Have you checked punctata and panaw?
There are Channa panaw in our local canals???These look like the panaw I used to see in Singapore canals they kinda look like a mini argus from above
