Channa Diplogramma

[Euge]

Hello everybody,

Anyone ever heard of them or have one? As juvis they are VERY similar for the C. Micropeltes, only diff being that they are found in india and the Diplogramma has a deeper brown and red tones. I can't find any information about how big they get. I've tried searching for them on google but nothng of interest came up. However, tom halvorsen\s site has some info on them. Apparently they have been identified as a seperate spieces and are also known as the Giant indian snakehead. the FISC website lists it as a synonyms of c. micropeltes. Anyone have any ideas?
Check oiut the pics.

they look cool, Im sure theyve prolly gotten mixed up with batches of channa Micropeltes, as they look damn near Identical.

I mentiond that the diplo is very similar to the micro when its a juvi. I've emailed the guy at snakeheads.org for more info. I don't know if its true or not but its listed as a seperate species. I could be very wrong tho. Just gonna wait for this email.
