Channa asiatica 'red spot'

[Joao M]

I still believe specimen 2 looks male; Specimen 1´s head looks female in 3 pics and male in one (the 3rd, but may be because of the angle)
Can´t help more than this...

Thanks Joao, i posted the pics on a group in FB and was told that top pics were not needed at all \
But it was anyway identified as
Specimen 1 - female
Specimen 2 - possible male



Keeping them partitioned, no aggression so far.

An update if anyone is interested .

Seems like i may have a possible pair

Fingers crossed

Everybody is interested!

Looks like it might be a pair. Let´s hope they stay tunned.

I say this because my pair of aurantis, after several months, seems to be going through a divorce. We never know what to expect with this species

Thanks , hopefully! I think their bond is quite strong, if there's such a thing. Reason is as they were seperated, different tanks altogether, so no sight or smell of each other, yet they still stuck together. I bought them in a week's interval i think, maybe slightly less.

Anyway, a better pic .

I hope all goes well with your aurantis, maybe divide them till they calm down. Hopefully my asiaticas don't go through any fights, they can be scary .
