Hi,
I think thats a Channa Gachua- "Kerala 5 stripe"
nice looking animal,I wish I could get my hands on a group of those critters.

Hard to say by the photos (they're not the best )

To me it looks like Parachanna Africana (or maybe P. Insignis) - but if it's wildcaught in Asia it must be some other species...

Cheers,
Peter

it is very lazy

 

[goodgene]

can i feed them with small goldfish?
and mixing them with other snakeheads?

 

[le patron]

id say it is a Channa Gachua too. all snakeheads except maybe dwarf eat other fish

 

[goodgene]

but i thought c.gachua doesnt have strips on their body?
