Long story short. I saw that our local pet store(where i buy superworms) were selling snakeheads on a 15 gallon aquarium and saw the price which was 100 pesos(2$ in us) so i thinked “why the hell would i buy one?”. Kaboom next thing i know i was holding a unknown channa/snakehead type(or breed) that i brought back home at my old 5 gallons where my old betta lived before(rip)

Definitely a Channa Micropeltes.
Its the fastest growing snakehead and very aggressive. They are ravenous killing machines too. Mine grew from 8 inches to 1.5 foot just within 5 months, after which it killed my 10 inch walking catfish.
I gave it away this weekend due to its highly aggressive nature. Check out these two threads

You need a bigger aquarium asap that Channa species grows fast.
Agreed. Also what are you gonna do with those three pacu? They grow very large and very quickly too. Even my 500 gallon pond looks small for my 1.5 foot pacu.
