I think that's a dart. I don't think they're very good for bait or eating.

Where'd you catch it??

[trungie]

[yakfishing]

Yep a mono, they are a nuisance when trying to catch livies.

I hear though they are good eating

wouldn't get much meat from them

I picked one up from the georges the other day. Nice lookin' fish. Quite small though, not worth keeping in my opinion unless its for an aquarium.

I went to an Aquarium at hurstville on forest road yesterday and they sell them for 135$$

I asked the guy why they are so expensive its not like they are beautiful or anything because they sell clown fish for relativley cheap at 40$ they guy said they are easy to keep and can eat parasites and worms from the water just like a filter
