0 Blackfish Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Red Squirrel Fish, "Sargocentron Rubrum" very rare for this far south. Must of come down in a warm current , got lost and never swam home. B.F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 pk-fishn Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) im not 100% but i think it is a species of cardinal fish. this actually took quite a while to find think its a Apogon quadrifasciatus. very hard to distinguish between the species but the horizonal stripe running right through the tail and the two white lines through the eyes gave it away as it was very very close to other species of cardinal fish. (they vary only the slightesT) heres a link to the pic for verification, and just checked and found it is distributed across australia. http://www.fishbase.org/Photos/PicturesSum...mp;what=species and heres another http://habitatnews.nus.edu.sg/guidebooks/m...sh/text/276.htm cheers pk Edited January 20, 2007 by pk-fishn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
