Channa maculata aka blotched snakehead size should be revise. Almost 2 years ago, a snakehead was found in Central Park, Burnaby, BC, Canada. It was thought as a Northern Snakehead aka Channa argus but DNA studies confirmed the snakehead was a Blotched Snakehead aka Channa maculata. It was 75cm long. Biggest recored ever, since we all thought that they only max out at 12-13". I had them before and they were at 16-18" but was skeptical if they were just only channa argus as the store sold them to as channa maculata from China. http://www.vancouversun.com/touch/story.html?id=6626327
Can someone tell me what kind of fish this is? I think its a pleuro snakehead but I'm not certain. Apparently it was caught in Brazil. Regardless its beautiful.
