graeme Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 just wondering if anyone knows what the scientific name for coldwater lepoard fish is? :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 Phalloceras caudimaculatus hence the other common name 'Caudo'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 It's Phalloceros actually If anyone knows of a South Island source for these fish I would appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Yes Caryl is correct ---os rather than ---as. Just happened that the nearest book I had to hand has it mis-spelt. No I'm not just making excuses for poor typing/latin spelling skills check the Reed Field Guide to NZ Freshwater Fishes and you'll see I'm not fibbing.

bikiegirl Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 also r called ( dusky millions fish ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Never heard that name bikiegirl. I know guppies are called millions fish but would not have thought leopardfish prolific enough to earn a similar name. You never know though!
