I had plenty of these babies back about 3.5 years ago when they were firstly shown up.. The collected point is sumatra (jambi for exact) and I never find this type in Kalimantan/Borneo. I keep on wondering the ID but I think this one is melanoptera. No literature I found said that marulius also natives to Sumatra island. It is melanoptera that natives to sumatra (well at least based on literature).
The blue color will fade when it reach big size, only pale blue remains. Too bad that none left in my tank since I sold em all. Will post later my colleague pic of this species |

this one is the comparison:
this blue one: Fish and Pic belong to Adi Wisaksono, a colleague juvie: fish n pic belong to iinkeren marulius : Fishes n pics belowng to iinkeren Maruliodes: Fish n pic belong to iinkeren As u can see, the bodyshape of the blue one is different with marulius, more close to maruliodes but with no pattern nor flower |

I think snakeheads are abundant in Indonesia rite? Hows the fish keeping scene there? Plenty of aquariums selling snakeheads? |
