Brother in law sent me an image tonight of a fish my nephew caught in the Nerang River. He reckons it was just above the fresh??
Any ideas??

Thats what I first thought, not that I have ever seen one, as I hear they are rare on the Hards, so I looked in Grants & there is only one image & it doesn't look right??

Can't wait to tell my BIL he's up for a 200K fine!! LOL

Definitely a Tilapia, I'd be reporting where it was caught to fisheries.

Hopefully not an escapee from Hinze Dam !!
