Hi,

I'm in the metric system, dont know how big an inch is, sorry

Unlikely to be an orientalis as well, as the dorsal ray count is 37/38 whereas orientalis has max 34.

The anal ray count which is more than 26 also exceeds that of the orientalis.

We use the metric system in Singapore too but I do know how big is an inch... I always think it's easier to size a fish by inches ...but that's just me.

1 inch = 2.5cm

Therefore, 6 inches = 15cm

Unlikely to be an orientalis as well, as the dorsal ray count is 37/38 whereas orientalis has max 34.

Btw thanks for the lovely channa It's very very pretty
