Caught in upper George's around Captain Cook Bridge

G'day guys hoping you can ID this, I've seen them schooling around a lot and I know I know the name I just cannot for the life of me remember what it's called and it's driving my mate nuts trying to find out what it is

They are also known as silver diamond fish and Mono (after their latin name). They can be netted as tiny little pitch black fish and introduced to a freshwater aquarium where they will thrive and grow fast into the silver adult colour.

[someguy2k]

I remember catching lots of these fish at that wharf around late afternoon with mince targeting yakkas.

They are good eating.

[L1M]

Yeah same i've caught plenty of these but never really toko them and tried eating. Since you guys said they're good eating, i'll give it a go next time i catch these fellas.

Any size/bag limit for this fish?

Cheers,

Dave

Don't know it's real name, but I have caught them in Port Hacking over many years, and my mates and I call them Batfish, because they look similar to Batfish from the tropical areas. Cannot find it in my fishing books.

I know them as ButterFish. i think it would be like eating a bunch of pine needles full of bones mate
