livingart Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 i think that is a picture of the highly endangered big tongued galaxiad they have become almost extinct from swallowing their own tongues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Lol iv never seen that one? as i said highly endangered last one seen was giving an angler on lake taupo a tongue lashing for fishing without a licence i do say that with tongue in cheek the chinese whitebait (big tonged galaxiad) is similar but not as rare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 LOL! Very entertaining thread :lol: Good guess, the photo is mine. The bottom three large fish are giant kokopu. The top fish (slimmer one) is an inanga. The 'tongue' is a smaller fish darting up nad to the right, I suspect it is a small shortjaw kokopu or a bully of some description. I hadn't noticed it before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 my apologies for the misidentification of the fish i thought you had the first photographic evidence of this species Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
