Just checked Ians link, doesn't say anywhere there that they are a fresh water only species. Fish are pretty adaptable, there are plenty that go from salt to fesh or the other way around to breed. Have even saw what looked like a huge goldfish in brackish water.

The fish is actually a spangled gudgeon (Ophiocara porocephala) and not a sleepy cod nor a snakehead gudgeon. These are actually an estuarine species that will move into the lower freshwater reaches on occasions. That fish is pretty close to the maximum size.
Cheers Steve

How ya living?
It is definitely a spangled gudgeon (Ophiocara poroephala), that website from Singapore seems to be a bit off track. The scientific name for a snakehead gudgeon is Giurus margaritacea, which are incidentally only found as far south as the Burdekin River and as far north as the Bloomfield river. Nice fish too, I've only ever seen a few that large
