New snakehead ID please

[King-eL]

Got this new 6" snakehead that was sold to me as channa stewartii. They kinda just look like a channa gachua to me. The lips going under the belly have that bluish purple color but it doesn't show much on the pics.

Hi,I agree with you,it looks pretty much like c.gachua!

Actually, that's a defective species and you should probably give it to me. When the law allows it...

I would think channa gachua, does not have spotting down side the stew's..but never seen either in real life, you know how sometimes you google something,but someone has named it different,so does not always help

It's not a raibow snakehead. I what a rainbow snakehead looks like and they are easy to tell part from channa gachua, no pelvic fins.
