"look mommy! I want that cute little fishy with the red stripe..."
That's why whenever I see a kid along with his mom in a LFS I always give them some info. Some moms however gets pissed off. Just like the last time a kid wanting a oranda goldfish in his fish bowl but the LFS owner doesn't wanna sell it to the kid as the mom said they have a fish bowl for it. The owner recommended a betta instead but the mom still wants the oranda. She got angry at the owner and she kept on saying, "What kind of a petshop is this not selling fish to customer's demand. We'll just go to "petsmart" and buy it from there." Then she left and she told the other worker that she will tell other people about the customer service they got. I was gonna laugh but had to hold till she left completely. I wonder what happened to the oranda they bought at petsmart within the weeks to come.

Thanks! It easy to tell apart marulius from marulioides. As far as I know there are only two color variant pf marulioides, the blue and the yellow specs. Marulius however is still questionable.

Here are some of the Marulius variant
Channa marulius grandinosa
Channa marulius sp. salween
Channa marulius aurolineatus
Channa marulius marulius
Channa pseudomarulius

there was a red pseudomarulius that was posted on SH forum

Thank you, TGM and King-El for the sweet info. Be helpful in me getting a Marulioides in the foreseeable future.

NP, Go for it.
They are awesome fish to watch, in a more "manageable" size suited for home aquaria!
