blueether Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 a thread of Grey Mullet fry that I posted in saltwater for an ID, these guys were caught in freshwater Paratya curvirostris (freshwater shrimp) : Giant Kokopu eating from my hand : Giant Kokopu while out spotlighting, this guy was big - [edit, I may have over estimated its size] about 25cm: Giant bully while out spotlighting. only one I caught, man these guys are fast. Saw about 6 or 8 of them some getting close to 18cm or more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 :nfs: Thanks for sharing. Good sized fish there. You get some water on your lense or something? That second shot looks like it has streaks on it... unless you had that camera under the water at some stage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueether Posted April 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Thats one impressive fish :thup: How long have you had it? The Giant kokopu? Caught two of them from a creek early last spring thinking that they would be banded[1], one was about 85mm the bigger[2] about 95-100mm so I guess that they would have been 1 year old :dunno: . The biggest one was smaller than my largest inanga. The small one is probably over 120mm now and the bigger one must be 150mm, and fat. [1] This creek is over 150km inland, I thought Giants were meant to be more costal [2]When caught he had 1/2 his tail missing http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=55536 that grey mullet fry is a crazy little guy I like the goldfish in the bullie tank :sml2:The goldfish need to be moved outside I think... All the grey mullet are now feeding like that, real weird to watch as they feed with supper high speed head shakes on the glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 wow, that video of the kiant gokopu eating needs the 'Jaws' theme - I love the way they flash in and out of the shadows! They have certainly grown heaps since I saw them last. Impressed with the 30cm wild one. I have not seen ones that big in the wild yet. (Last week we caught two 20cm koaro, will hopefully get around to downloading my photos one the weekend and do some uploading here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 I chose to ignore that word on purpose I can't talk though... I promised a log with photos of Billy T Cray regrowing his Chelae that got eaten off the other week... still haven't got round to doing it. And blueether... I looked at your photos again on my home computer.... and the image looks like reflections, whereas my work winterm makes it look like dried water streaks on the lense.
