Aircut64..This is a 74cm C argus (Northern Snakehead). Just so you can compare the sizes
Cool man
You're from Japan right
? Heard that they can be found in Japan ^^ I'm a little bit Japanese also
I'm planning to move there lol. It would be cool to have a Channa Argus/maculata in a tank then
I'm not originally from Japan, and yeah snakeheads were introduced here as a food source about 80 years ago! There are three species here;
C asiatica found in Okinawa.
C maculata found in Kyushu, Shikoku and some areas of mainland Japan (Honshu).
C argus found all over Japan apart from Okinawa.
It certainly would be cool to keep argus or maculata! They are true monsters.

wow cool man
!hm I saw a fishing short film about snakehead angling in Japan.
A guy caught a Argus in a pond somewhere in Tokyo xD
That would be so cool.."Living next to the snakeheads".
I first got into snakeheads after one snapped up my worm hook bait intended for carp! They are a really intelligent fish and so difficult to catch. All fish I'm fortunate enough to catch are treated with care and are released asap.
There are a number of s/h dvds on sale. The best being the 'Burst Out' series.
Here are a few of my favourite s/h ponds! For anyone who thinks s/hs don't need surface cover.... have a look at these!!! Enjoy

i think it is channa striata..some kind of variant, coz in here..we do catch channa striata with a bit yellow mark at the belly..but yours have more yellow
Most definately Channa Auranti.
Looks to be about 40-50cm.
Exactly the same color/pattern as mine when I have had to take them out of the water.
