That's channa pulchra , they subtropical species native to Myanmar and they also being bred in captivity. They should be one of the easier species to find in your part of the world.
thanks my friend" cannot believe one of the more common channa! will keep my eye out for these!
Are they all as nice as the channa in pic?

Yes that's the typical example. Males (like above) tend to be slightly more colorful and have longer fins, but it's often difficult to sex them because the differences are only minor.
In that pic they also are using lighting that is emphasizing the blues , probably some sort of ultra violet type bulb combined with white light to really make it's blue tones pop .

nice but the colours look to have been enhanced like dc said, either in a pic editor of via lighting...
