Yeah they look like those. But they seemed redder.

u can try feed them with chicken fillet. cut in to pieces that can fit into their mouth. or u can try feed them with feeders fish (final option).
good luck with those monster :)
 
Okie great thanks. They seem to like sliced up prawn meat so i'm giving those to them. Yeah, when they get too big I'll transfer them into my pond!

yap, they seem cute when it still fry and juvenile. but it will change to fearless monster when they adult. common name giant snakehed or redline sh (channa micropeltes) in captivity, they can grow up to 3feets.

They are about 2-3 inches long kinda orangey red and some of the bigger ones have stripes running down the length of their body.

sounds like Red Snakehead / Channa Micropeltis .
those small babies are hungry all the damn time . :D
 
Thanks for all the help. I gave them the feeder fish n they ate that. Refused to eat the pellets that I bought. They did not take well to the chicken fillet either. Took it into their mouths then spat it out. But why is feeding the feeder fish the last option?
