The first few are pictures of a two snakeheads i bought at a lfs. The last is some sort of catfish i just bought yesterday. Exactly what type are they?

pretty sure the cat is not a irridecent shark, but the more aggressive close cousin. that top dorsil fin looks more like the close relative. on the tip of my tounge but the name eludes me atm. Then get bigger then Suchies ( i botched the spelling I'm sure) and tend to be alot more aggressive as well. not 100% but it just doesn't look like an ID.
 
I've been doing some online research and i think it might be Channa Melasoma or more commonly known as a Black Snakehead. As for the catfish, i really have no idea.
 
Hi,

ist channa striata
 
Brucki, i think you might be right. I checked and the patterns are almost identical to Channa Striata.

MonsterMinis/gt1009, i think that's what it is, a pangasius catfish.

Thanks everyone! c:
