  1. It is a goby. Extremely common but not usually caught because of their small size. The species was/is Favonigobius lateralis (genus may have changed). This species has elongated stripes along its body which originate on the spots in the centre of its flank. There are hundreds of goby species in Australian waters. Their pelvic fins (the fins underneath the body but in front of the anal fin)are fused together to form a sucking disc. Cheers Black Bandit
  2. I believe it is a purple wrasse (Notolabrus fucicola)
  3. Eel-tail catfish is a generic term for all species of catfish that have a rounded (eel-like) tail regardles of whether they live in fresh or salt water. The species in the pictures is the longtail catfish Euristhmus lepturus, common in northern NSW and southern QLD and very plentiful in the estuarine reaches of the Hawkwsbury River system.
