Is this rainbow/belheri snakehead? If not, what species is it & how big does it get?
Its dorsal, anal & caudal fins are blueish in colour..

I've seen some dwarf snakeheads that is really colourful on its body & fins but mine is just plain green.. Will the colour change as it matures?

well it look like bleheri ,but i don't see any orange spots on his tail ...

it could be blue bleheri ( lal cheng , blue Assam ) as well

Make some pictures from a side ... it will help to ID your fish.

The fish look as she was very scared and that is the reason for her gray/green colours . Put some sand and plants into aquarium ... and good feeding is also important ...

I would say Sp.assam,even stressed out like it is the orange spots on the tailfin would be obvious if it was a bleheri.

I agree 100% Lal Cheng (Assam)
