0 Blackfish Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Southern and False Fusilier same thing I believe (Bloody common Names) Both are Paracaesio xanthura. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never ever heard them called False in 33 years that I have been checking out fishes, however, seeing the scientific name it was instant Southern Fusilier in my mind. Fortunately, usually, there's only one scientific name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
