Hi, I'm Jun and i'm new to the forums. I just got my SH yesterday and its a little baby maybe 1 1/2" long. I had a fahaka puffer before this.

So i've looked everywhere to see what species my SH was but i can't seem to figure it out.. can someone please ID my SH?

thanks in advance.

I know my tank is dirty in the picture but it's all cleaned up now =]

It's 100% Channa illegalus.

Hi,

Parachanna obscura, african snakhead, needs more hiding places and loves the "dirt" in your tank.

Hi,

If it was a lucia, then the brown stripe through the eye woulod bend donwards betwenn eye and gill. But as it goes straight through the eye its surely a P. obscura. I have both species, and I know how they look like.
