[JML1997]

th blue undertone in the fins is not common for bleheri's, well i've never seen one with such blue, which makes it a remarkable fish, but i'm unsure of its ID.

Hi,

It´s Channa sp. "Assam" alias blue bleheri....

Hi,

sadly thgis species is often mislabelled as blue bleheri, but in fact its a yet scientiffically undescriebd species of snakehead, it should be called Channa sp. "Assam" until its described by scientists. Difference to bleheri is : bleheri has orange blotches in the tail fin, sp. "Assam" as not. Channa sp. Assam is a mouthbrooder and bleheri is not.

Both species are subtropical.
