afishyfish 4 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Definteley a Gurnard looking at the profile of its head, large eyes etc.Then again, Ive never seen one that color, and the arrangements around the back of its head almost make it look a bit like an Axolotol, so the juries out for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scartissue69 0 Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I actually thought that It could be an axolotl, because it had like 4 pre formed hand fin things.. It was a bottom feeder and its horns raised up and down when it breathed.. devil goat fish Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Fisher 3 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Just checking, this was caught in salt water yeah or was it in fresh? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scartissue69 0 Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Yeah I caught this in Deep creek conservation park in South Australia, off the rocks in salt water, however it was near to a fresh water run off as well.. Ill post some more photos of its bottom and side as well soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ugly4Life 41 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 either way... is fn ugly.....Oi. I resemble that remark! :pI got nothing. If it's a Gurnard it must be a juvenile as the pectoral fins don't seem rounded enough and there is no V in the tail fin (that I can see). After a fair bit of research (because I am sick and bored) I couldn't find anything even close to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scartissue69 0 Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Thanks heaps for identifying it! defiantly a Thornfish or Dragon net. Was racking my brain trying to figure out what it was. I think it was there because It was quite close to a creek run off, also because its evil. Bittersweet though because I had some pretty sweet names lined up for it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
