Yes it is:grinyes:
 
yup channa micropelis
 
there a big game fish, in malasia and around that area, i'd love to fish some, sopposidilly good fighters, and they get to a good size, 4-5'
 
It's pretty. I don't see anyone in here who keep snakehead have the same kind like this. Does anyone in here ever keep one of this kind before ? As I can see it's a huge beautiful snakehead.
 
i am planing on geting one soon as im building a trop pond next year so it can go in there once it grown on...but im not sure wether im going for the micropeltis yet or the marulius coz they get even biger.
 
They are pretty fish... most ppl dont have them in a tank looking like this because it takes a long time for that black line to develope... they have to be real monsters to look like that...
just so u know if ur gonna throw a snakehead into a pond u may wanna put a small foot high fence around it cuz these animals can actually get out of the water n flop around for a long time to find a new body of water to occupy... so u wanna make sure they dont decide to leave ur pond...
