hey people
Every now and then i must make the long walk which isnt acutaly long but i must make a walk to a creek were i catch Mosquito Fish (aka. Plague Guppy, Plague Minnow) for my 8" Oscar my 2 3" Oscars and the 2 Black Ghost Knife Fish which are 4" and 5" long.
I have kept yabbies before so for about 4 years ive gone to this creek to catch the Mosquito Fish for my animals.
After 4 years of constant creek scooping i've onli ever seen the occational turtle the hundreds of Moquito Fish and about 10 eels that have been there ever since and commonly juvenile eels (One large eel i named Sheila and she will take bread from your hand)
and a couple of weeks ago i found living in the water 2 new species of fish that i had never seen or caught
the first one is a small fish of about 70mm with 2 dorsal finns a circular tail like an oscars tail and one long finn on the bottom.
it resembles the Crimson Spotted Rainbow Fish that is native to my home Australia but the tail is different and its head is not as narrow
The second fish is a rough looking fish with the same finns as the first one only it is a wider fish that bottom dwells eating the Mosquito Fish
i was curious if anyone knows what these fish are any help is great ;)
