Estuary Hybrids Or Strange Species

[Mozza]

Okay,

Now I'm curious - I've been calling them 'ponytails' 'cos I don't know what they are exactly. Attached are downloaded pics from the Aus Museum for silver biddies and boney bream and neither of them are this particular little fella.

I like 'feather bream' for a name but I could not find tham anywhere on the Museum website.

Anyone throw some light on this??

I've used them for live bait before, while they are not my number one choice, they definately do work and worth using
