0 NaClH2OK9 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Nbdshroom. Yours looks exactly like a Sydney cardinal. Sydneyfish12 looks different to me. Look at the width of the white stripe above the lateral line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 NaClH2OK9 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Looks like a cooks cardinalfish Apogon cookii Also possible pearly-line cardinalfish Apogon taeniophorus but it's a little far south. Any other pics to be sure? Edit. No space in cardinalfish Edited April 3, 2015 by NaClH2OK9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 nbdshroom Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Maybe it is just the picture. Here's a Sydney Cardinalfish I caught previously for comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Yowie Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 A species of Cardinal Fish, also sometimes called Gobbleguts, due to their habit of swallowing large baits relative to their size. Common in Port Hacking at times when fishing near the bottom for jackets, yellowtail, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 NaClH2OK9 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 You got a Latin name yowie? Gobbleguts searches are showing a very different fish to me but common names can be confusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Yowie Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Is just a common name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Blackfish Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) I'll take a punt and a punt that's all it would be. I found about 125 Cardinalfish listed in OZ. AIEEEEEEEE. Striped Cardinalfish, Apogon fasciatus. I don't think the stripes are right for a Sydney Cardinalfish . Edited April 9, 2015 by Blackfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
