I guess that you mean "Channa Lucius".

 

[dbb]

Yes,its the same ,just old or new way of naming

 

[King-eL]

C. lucius and c. maculata looks very similar body shape so I would suggest grow it to 10"+ and the one with the bigger head is the male and the one with the pointer lips is the female.

Ha i have a pair and never new thanks king-el

 

[dbb]

Timskie,is it lucius you have or maculata?

i have 2 chana lucius at 12", but still not knowing the sexes.
I put them with a spatula in my pond. They have similar head shape, but never bite each other.
