Great snakehead in Thailand that I known, it have
1. Channa sp Mekong (this thread, someone claim "Channa grandinosa ")
2. Channa aurolinetus, I think it have 2 variety..
Meklong (Western Thailand) variety. (Orange spot on tail)
Salween (Border Thailand & Burma) variety. (Orange spot on tail and full with white scale) Some fish like a flower, I used to keep 6 flowers but it jump from the tank and die before I take a picture. Some fish continuousl patetern of white scale (I Keep them 4, 12-15" long).
Now I haven't Meklong variety because the pattern less beauty than salween.
I don't know why I can npt post pics in this reply, I will post a new thread nextime after prepare all pics. Hope to answer your question.

This is the list of my snakehead :
1 Channa sp Mekong
2 Channa aurantimaculata
4 Channa sp Salween
6 Channa marulioides (Malaysia)
1 Channa marulius (India)
1 Channa melasoma (Just got it yesterday, condition not so good, I hope to can keep it alive)
 
i think this spec. look even better than marulioides... i miss mine a lot, and i probably wont ever see them again. :(

but anyway! intrxz, do you often see them for sale in Malaysia?
 
depends on d flowers..oleoleole's current fish is superb compared with d two pics i found in d net. If compared his with maruloides, i go for his. I only came across once in d LFS where i purchased my gold channa micro and at that time this so called mekong spec were selling RM 8:00 each about 10" and i really regretted for not buying some to keep..at that time all were juveniles n does not possess any blotches or flowers...
