    fish ID please

    Themisses caught one of these in the tweed river recently and I was unsure what it was. Judging by its size it is juvenile and check out the serious hardware on the gill covers.

    cheers, roo.

    I don't know what they are called but they are a fairly frequent catch in Tingalpa Creek.

    They look like they may be related to Trumpeter's.

    They never grow above about 25cm from what I've seen.

    It might be a crescent perch, looks a bit like the one on the Australian Museum website.
