Do you guys think this is Chitala Lopis?

[AnomalocarisAquatics]

An Indonesian online store that sells all kinds of predator and monster fish are selling what they call "Ikan Belida Lopis Hias" which roughly translates to "Ornamental Fish Lopis Featherback". They're about 14cm or 5.5in, and they're pretty cheap, only 5 bucks for one. I have a hard time believing this is in fact Chitala lopis. Can anyone help me identify? Below are the 3 photos the seller provides.

Has the blue ish hue that Lopis have. But I kno nothing about these fish. Those look nice nonetheless

I think it's a C.lopis , judging by the black spot at the base of its pectoral fin and the shape of its head. It doesn't have any markings. That said, I only know a bit about this species and I'm not very familiar with it. As for the price, it's pretty standard in my country since it's a breedable fish.

No problem! Store is called "ocim predatorfish" from the Indonesian online shopping website "Tokopedia.com". Below is a link if you wanna check out the store. They sell everything from leucistic bichirs, to many species of Synodontis, to large carp species.

Unfortunate news guys...

Haven't got to building my pond yet, I guess my plans for housing Chitala lopis will come at another time.
