channa melasoma variant?

[na_cheers]

caught this fish somewhere near 'Balai ringin' sarawak (south western). at 1st i thought it to be channa melasoma but it has little black spots in the body, it also has white rim at the fins. As for channa baramensis, the color is different from this.

For comparison

Channa Baramensis Matang(southern Sarawak)

Channa Melasoma Lundu(southern Sarawak)
