Hi, this snakehead popped up at my lfs under the assumed name (peacock polypterus) lol.
Anyway, just wanted an ID on this guy so i can see if i have the tankspace and the means to keep it.
It has red in the pectoral fins and blue lines in the rest of the fins, the body is brown and has darker brown diagonal broken stripes.Pics attached is the best i could doPhoto2873.jpgPhoto2874.jpgPhoto2873.jpgPhoto2874.jpg

it is there, especially on the smaller ones, i thought best to take a pictures of the biggest one, which is in the pics also the rest was in the back and out of focus really,perhaps this fish was stressed?
 
These are gachua
 
Agreed, Gachua
 
got it at sams, they had 2 left as of the weekned. 1 looks like it could have some sort of spinal deformity and the other was missing an eye. it was R90 bucks
