Im Not Sure What Fish This Is.......

[Lewis1636]

hello im new to the forum, im stuck in a rut atm, i purchased a new fish from maidenhead aquatics and for the life of me i cant remember its name.
I asked the bloke at the til and he said something like neon faced snake fish, or something like that. I have been looking on google and the "snakehead" types look very similar to my one. I hope you guys can help just i want to find some more information about my new fish. thanks.
