Help ID snakehead!

[pdwh1971]

Hi all...

Just got 4 snakeheads this morning. Supposed to be Ch. Pleurophthalma but after seeing the I am in doubt... I think they look more like Ch. Marulius

One of them was dead on arrival so I took a few shots of him... hope someone can help...

regards,
Peter

Hi again guys

Thanx for your answers... the remaining three fish are happy in their new home... they are all light in colour and have 4 black dots along the sides and 1 black dot with an orange ring on the tailfin... they are pretty long and slim... and have black markings around the eyes...

I will try to shoot some photos from the tank when I get home from work tonight....

Cheers, and thanx again

Peter

Sorry for the poor lightning etc....
