Snakehead id..

[Weylin]

Can anyone id these guys for me.

Channa maculata perhaps.

Can you get a close up? At first glance they seem to be Channa lucius (the Splendid Snakehead). Young but beginning to take on the adult patterning. Count the dark markings on thier sides above the lateral line. These have only 7-8, the C. maculata has 11 or more.

Ill try nd get the pics up tom. They r from India. I think its a native. Not too sure.

 

[guppy]

If they are native to India it is possible that they are young C. punctata
