Few Of My Fish, Some Strange Some Not!

The December FOTM Contest Poll is open!
FishForums.net Fish of the Month
🏆 Click to vote! 🏆

well give it a couple of months and most of my fish will be in the classified section, along with tanks and equipment lol

Right here are the other two channa punctata i havent put up yet, these two are pure yellowy white color, we came to the decision that the three were punctata, to me these two dont look to be the same species, not just the color but slightly different shape!
I think its one of them things i will never know for sure!
Anyway these are the 2 for sale, very reluctantly as they are beautiful!
The first pic is the small one at about 4 inch and the rest are the bigger one at about 6, i didnt notice until i took these pics but the bigger one has teeth, actual visible sharp looking teeth!

I'll be looking out in the classified when you get round to selling seens as yours kinda local, hopefully betime youre selling i might have persuded the mrs to let me have another tank. Shame you wont sell you Delzheri.booooooo:( lol
 
well i hope when it does come round to me having to say goodbye to lots of my little fishes that it doesn't take as long as it is doing for these beautiful snakeheads!! i can't see why somebody doesn't want them! i really don't wanna get rid of them but i have to as they are all in different tanks!
they are beautiful so i will enjoy them while i have them!
thanks for the nice comments again!

do these look like the same species to everyone?
Or does somebody else smell something fishy?

I dont know enough about them to help, but they definately look different to me, the fins are a very different shape & the head profile is very different too, they are really pretty though.
 
well......
the story goes......
i have 3 of these, baught at the same time from bas in bolton. they didn't know what they was, i wasn't sure either but i knew they wasn't a giant and i really liked them so i got them! after a bit of time and effort was informed they were a punctata varient, fair enough!
the one with the brown markings.... i believe is definately punctata as apart from the yellow base color the markings do match some pictures of punctata i have seen. 1 sorted!
the other two, aren't yellow but white, different shaped head and fins (as shown in pictures) so is hard for me to believe that they are the same species just different colors as surely they would have to be physically identical????
i think its one of them things im not gonna have much luck getting answers to but its worth a go as i just wanna know exactly what i have!
not too much to ask lol
