fisherboy Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 (edited) does any one know what the fish is it looks like a spraypainted whiting Edited January 17, 2009 by fisherboy
0 Josh88 Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Thats a really weird looking fish, its shaped like a whiting but from those colours and patterns i would of said some sort of wrasse type fish
0 austwave Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 does any one know what the fish is it looks like a spraypainted whiting I believe it to be either a Blue Weed Whiting (Haletta semifasciata) or a Long Ray Weed Whiting(Siphonognathus radiatus) leaning to the former
0 fisherboy Posted January 17, 2009 Author Posted January 17, 2009 it was caught at honey moon bay at jevis bay has any one else caught one before fisherboy
0 Blackfish Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Certainly a odd fish. Never seen one myself. Have to agree with Austwave, Blue Weed Whiting.
0 Davemmm Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 We landed a couple of them on nippers in the Shoalhaven a few years ago. The fella I was with just called them weed whiting. They werent real big so they went back to Neptune. Wonder what they taste like. Dave
0 fisherboy Posted January 17, 2009 Author Posted January 17, 2009 we caught 2 in about 20mins and they were both around the 15cm mark so we put them both back after a couple of pics they would look good in someones Aquarium thanks for your reeplies fisherboy
0 brendan992 Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 saw one of those caught on the tv show on lifestlye Fishing Western Australia. its deffiently some sort of whiting, cant quite remember what it was called.
0 micksfishn Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 its a parra river sand whiting who said the water condition is no good
0 jlloyd Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 more like homebush bay sand whiting, should see them glow at night
0 cobba Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Blue Weed Whiting: http://fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.php?id=12836 Photos: Blue Weed Whiting #1, Blue Weed Whiting #2, Blue Weed Whiting #3, Blue Weed Whiting #4, Blue Weed Whiting #5
0 Jimikin Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I'm going for a female Long Rayed Weed Whiting, that's the closest match to the pictures in my ID book (Sea fishes of Southern Australia by Hutchins and Swainton) Cheers Jimmy
