Fish ID help.

I went to visit philippines and I have been wondering what kind of fish this is. We usually eat it back in the mother land and we call it "liwalo." Gills usually have spikes and they dont grow bigger than 7inches and usually found in mud.

Here are some pics of local snakeheads in philippines. Good eating i may add
