What species is this?

[SimonL]

Not being a snakehead fanatic, but I do believe that species is Channa gachua...

That is a Channa sp.assam,also called lal cheng.
Often sold as blue bleheri.
Its a subttropical mouthbrooding channa from northern india

HAHA! all close, but wrong. (kinda)
The pictured fish is mine!
It is one of my Channa sp.redfin.

Not too much info on it yet, but has a slight stewartii look to it in person.
Here are some more pics of them:

Its ordinary Ch.gachua.

Similar but not gachua.
The Indian gachuas that are similar have a red line under the eye, these have a kind of flash/smear.
Also, the gachua lack the black spotting on the face and the length of the body.
