livingart Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 They are probably galaxiads. Do they smell like cucumber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No L. And yeah, my money is on your room mate dumping a handful of whitebait into it. That's the most plausible way they got there. Maybe Stella can ID the species.

Jaxxnz Posted November 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 no they smell like chlorine :bggrn: after 4 yrs the pool finally had a good clean.. frying cat" would not be the correct term in the special menu at the restaurant, ask for "cat n chips" they would understand you better" galaxiads fish.. interesting..how in the sky do they get in the pool..

livingart Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 i thought you caught them by trolling. I can see chlorine flavoured whitebait catching on, may not be good for the longevity of the business though as dead fish are hard to breed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 They look like Very-white Bait to me Inanga :dead%fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 hi... i have been white baiting for a fairly long time of my short life.... im pretty sure its your flat mate playing a trick on you to get you to clean your pool..... (lol) They do look like white bait, or as the others suggested if they smell like cucumber "smelts" possibly teenage whitebait on their way to Īnanga stage ... would also depend on how big they are... FYI i ran to my freezer to compare hehehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxxnz Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 They look like Very-white Bait to me these fish are way bigger than the whitebait fish..white white bait are string size.. these are fat and it the size of a blue pen and more than half lenght of pen.. the pic on your avatar blueether..it looked abit like it, is that marine or cold water? Inanga :dead%fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 do an image search for inanga, the most common of the whitebait. and the profile pic of mine is also one of thee species that make up the whitebait run - this one grows to around 450mm or more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
