Hey na-cheers,
very nice fish indeed !!
I really like the look of that asiatica, cause ist very different to how my asaitca variant looks like. Your fish shows a nearly completely darkbrown coloured back whereas mine show much more a striped pattern from belly to back.
The gleaminig scales on your fish are stunning, your fish seems to have more of them than "normal" scales ;-) But it looks as if the anal fin shows none of them.
Thats another difference to mine.
For comparison, here is a pic of my male
And one of the female:
You have a lot of spoted channa there, some are really unusual looking.
The multiple spots in the dorsal fin of that pulchra remind me of a pulchra I had,
unfortunately this one was killed when two others formed a pair.
I also like the black spots in the dorsal of that bleheri, havent seen such a bleheri for quite a long time.
The pleurophtalma i have seen never had SEVEN occeli on the sides like that one you show up there.
And I especially like the pics of the two species you hardly can find in my area, the burmanica and the baramensis.
Great speciemen.
Thanks for sharing
