 Shillong: A new species of Channa, a genus of predatory fish in the family Channidae is discovered in Meghalaya. This new species is commonly known as snakehead and locally, as Dohthli), is a native to freshwater habitats in Asia. The new species is named as 'Channa aristonei.' It is named after a freshwater enthusiast from Shillong, Aristone M. Ryndongsngi, who also was an MMA fighter. Ryndongsngi holds a degree in Fisheries Science from St Anthony's College, Shillong.
 

Channa aristonei was discovered by Ryndongsngi in 2017, when he accidentally collected it, thinking that it is Channa pardalis. He was trying to find the national habitat of the species e discovered from West Khasi Hills in 2016. However, when Ryndongsngi noticed a few peculiarities in its morphological characters, he sent photos of Channa aristonei to Dr J. Praveenraj to confirm. Dr Praveenraj is an expert in Indian snakehead fish.
