fish ID
Submitted by schecky on Wed, 2008-11-05 19:03
I will probably make myself look stupid asking this because it will turn out to be obvious haha but i know the second one is a type of cod or something but the first one i have no clue but caught millions of them, so some identification would be helpful.
They were both caught off broome jetty in July this year.

Your picture isn't very good
Your picture isn't very good to get a positive ID but from what I can see I'm pretty sure it's a Rainbow Monocle-Bream. See this link http://www.amonline.net.au/fishes/fishfacts/fish/smonogramma.htm

The top one is a hussar different from spanish flag because of light blue lines on face.
Bottom one is a wire netting cod(NT nickname) or a hexagon rock cod.
Thats from the good book,(marine fishes of tropical australia and SE Asia)
