Just snapped a few pics to determine an id for a friends fish. Any guesses even with the crappy photos?? The colors of the fish look a little darker in person. Thanks guys!

thanks for the fast response guys! they looked like a gachua from all the pics I saw but I just wanted confirmation. they are beautiful fish, only crappy part is he purchased them thinking they were "cobra sh" oh well! good looking fish anyway!
its about 5" long now, growing very very fast. i know it was picked up at about 2 1/2 inches around a month ago.
Channa gachua One of the most commonly available Snakeheads, thanks to it`s very widespread distribution in the wild. Yet, it is nice little species (up to 20 cm as adults), that can show a lot of variation in color and markings, depending on the locality where they have been caught.
