From the head shape I would say Channa lucius. Something interesting to note is that the pelvic fins of C.bankanensis tend to be shorter than those of C.lucius. When pressed against the ventrum , the pelvic fins of C.bankanensis do not reach the anus while in C.lucius they usually do. Not sure if this meathod is accurate with the juvenile's though.
