I raised one many years ago, back when they were cheaply available in every shop in huge numbers, and mine looked just like that when it was that size. I think it's micropeltes.

Giant snakeheads,while considered extremely aggressive, CAN be housed with other fish. My 500 gallon pond consists of a giant snakehead, a red belly pacu, a red tail catfish and two red devil/midas cichlids. However my snakehead was small, like 8 inches while adding it in my pond. All the other fish were larger or equal to it in size. My snakehead became used to these fish since it was scared at the start. Now it has grown up and become very aggressive, not towards the fish it grew up with, but with new added fish. It tried to kill both my florida gar and marbled walking catfish immediately after adding them to the pond, so they had to be removed.
In other words, if you plan on keeping a Giant Snakehead in a community pond, then always make sure that it is the smallest fish in it (not that small that is can be eaten by tankmates) and that the other fish can keep up with its extremely fast growth rate. Here is mine

Cool Micros!💯💥
 
Here are photos of my fish. I haven't sold my gar yet since I am still busy at my job but I don't have choice to do that cause I need to focus with both things like my work. And also I haven't seen the pond for 1 week ago when look at it my albino Oscar is already dead and got eaten by somehow like the gar and I think my gar attacked it and it wasn't the snakehead I think it's because the size and length that makes the gar more aggressive and voracious to start dominance if this is right pls put a like at my comment and also there is an bullfrog swimming at my pond and everyone don't tell me I bought this ok it just came from a random tree or plant and I am very scared to touch it so pls tell what material should I use to remove it cause it my poison my pond but my focus is goodbye albine osc fish IMO thank you.
