blueether Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 ... and not a fish was stirring, or at least not till about 9 o'clock when the ells first started to make an appearance then the shortjaw kokopu came out. This was Stella's introduction to the native fish life in a Pirongia stream as she rebooted the mind. We saw about 1/2 a dozen eels and about the same number of kokou at this site, then spotlighted on the track out of the bush on the way to another site where we found dozens of Cran's bullies, a few eels and koura. Then the rain came and we headed back home at about 11:30 as some of us had to get up at 5am to go to work :yaw1: First the eels: Then the Kokopu: Then the other night-life: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 hey, blueether, what is your new avatar of? Looks like a galaxiid but not a NZ one. Galaxias truttaceus perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Hi stella, love that little weta pic, so cute. The avatar is labled as "Galaxias maculatus (Inanga)" on the Te Papa page and "Night Trout, Galaxias Paro(sp)-Punctatus" on the image. Galaxias Punctatus, Günther 1866, is acepted now as Galaxias maculatus, Jenyns 1842, but I too thought it was a Spotted Galaxias. I would so love one of them in my tank, they look so neat. http://collections.tepapa.govt.nz/ObjectDetails.aspx?oid=1204850 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
