Wikipedia Abstract

Channa gachua, the dwarf snakehead, is a species of snakehead. It is one of the dwarf snakeheads, and has a length of up to 20 cm (8 in). It gave its name to the aquarists' term dwarf snakeheads to denote the smaller Channa species. The dwarf snakehead can also hardly be distinguished from another closely related Channa species, Channa harcourtbutleri, inhabiting Lake Inlé in Myanmar. In Manipur, India it is locally known as Ngamu (Nga mu), it is found throughout canals, rivers and lakes of Manipur.
