0 james7 Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 Tarwhine Looks like a Tarwhine to me... Thanks IkanBilis and Sammy0884. Because I know you both are (more than likely) highly intelligent, honest and respectable I can now assume that I was correct and it is a tarwhine.

0 Jigholio Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 There's a very easy way to differentiate between Tarwhine & Bream at a glance. Only Tarwhine have the golden horizontal stripes. Filed in fish ID 101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Peter PS Your cheques are in the mail No worries. And u assumed right.....bout the tarwhine anyways...not sure bout the inteligent, honest and respectable ....must be referring to Sammy. Always thought it's the shape of the head is what sets a bream and tarwhine apart. Tarwhine's got a much rounder head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Josh88 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Tarwhine have those faint horizontal stripes like Jigholio said, they also have a more rounded head than the bream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 james7 Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 I know the tarwhine has a "rounder" shaped head. I've never noticed the faint horizontal stripes. I'll have a closer look next time. bream tarwhine Cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
