cycling new tank

i just got a new tank done(its a long story will post details about all the trial and error of making a big tank later)
and since its finally stopped leaking i decided to get a fish to start the cycling,i went to the market and got this fella here,snakeheads breathe air and are accustomed to living in dirty stagnant water so are better suited for the job,well,he was the smallest i could find,the others were twice his size.he is probably just a little over a foot in size
enjoy

OMG great looking head. My buddy has a small guy about 6-8 inches but damn those fish are quick.!

thanks for the comments.that one is channa striata one of the most common type here,and ive seen some on the market three times his size .
unfortunately this guy here jumped on the 3rd day and landed 5 feet below on marble floor.i found it almost dry in the morning and put it back,died after 2days. so much for tank cycling....but it was one heck of a fish,just see the pic in my avatar,its him.
about the tank,cam,its coming up..just let me get the pics in order....cheers!

not in the immediate plan to get one,but if i find a baby i might get it
