> Forget tatei, supposed to be a fairly plain fish, not commercial and
Why does everyone forget tatei? They are not a plain fish, if fact, I'd
prefer them to many splendidas. Take a look at the picture on my web
page of tatei and tell me that is a plain fish!! I'll agree though, they
aren't very available. Like other bows they vary across their range too
in colour.

think is the direct link to the picture. If not you'll just have to go
via the index.

I'd add goanna lagoon and Jones Road are both pretty orange/yellow fish.
Bathursts have the nice big spotted fins but less body colour.

Maculosus, sexlineata, pagwi, sentaniensis. (And Hunter thinks I've never

Dubs only come down as far as the Macleay River ~500kms north of Sydney.
My fav dub is Delaneys Ck in the Brisbane R system. but then I've not
seen many of them.

Good to see someone who likes something other than blondes too. You can
have all the blondes you want Chris and Roy, I'm quite happy with what
I've got thank you. :-)
