Unknown to Me, Not in Species Guide -- Please ID This Snakehead for Me

[fishyman]

I have just got a baby snakehead which I look through the Species Guide here but couldn't find any close match.
It is not albino; its eyes are the normal black color. Seems tame. Whenever I tap the aquarium front glass,
it will curiously swim to the glass and look. Rather cute. Please ID for me, thanks.

Where is Broki when you need him?

 

[Oleoleole]

Striata? But color look like golden CK.

 

[chronick]

straita for sure, there are a lot of color variants of them

 

[fishyman]

Okay... "straita" which means "cheap" to me. I was hoping to hear that it was something rare and more $$$
Thanks, anyway guys. Still going to keep it as it has a nice golden color...

I'd guess striata or melasoma.
I haven't kept either so I could be wrong

 

[Cheesetian]

Don't count on it keeping that golden sheen. It will turn brown as it ages.

 

[fishwhisperer]

looks nice tho
