[Worm4882]

Hey Guys

I really need this guy Id'd.
I know he is still extremely small and i know its not the best pic, but any ideas from the circumstances given. . .

 

[siebertn]

wow a snakehead in SA? First time seen one here.
Good luck with your ID.

looks kinda channa marulius....can you get a side on shot?

 

[Worm4882]

Yes i will try, and yes Channa is here, mwahahaha

 

[tokyogasmask]

yup a side shot would help a lot.
How are the markings on the side?

Also, is the head completely flat and sloped, or is there a bump at the top? (from a side view)

It could be Marulia, but the eyes look a little small for a juvi marulus. Though this could just be the photo angle.

My bet is its a juvie marulius.
