Channa aurolineata is a species of Asian snakehead in the family Channidae.
It is found natively in most of Myanmar's waterways as well as the Mae Khlong drainage in Thailand.
[1] There is also an invasive population found in Southeast Florida, United States.
[1] C. aurolineata was able to be separated as a new species and identified in other areas due to slight differences in color pattern, lateral line scale and fin ray morphology, and DNA structure from the other species in the marulius complex.
On March 18, 2024, Pata Zoo in Thailand announced to permanently stop exhibiting C. aurolineata that the zoo has raised named Pi-lim (Thai: พี่หลิม) because it is old, has cloudy eyes, and refuses to eat food.
