Dear Flatty.

Your eyelashes make me so jealous. Perhaps you could recommend a weight loss program for me?

Hi Jack,

 

Snake Heads are from freshwater while Flat Head are saltwater species.

 

It's a Flat Head. In fact within the Flat Head Family. The one that I have hitted is a :- Cociella crocodila, Crocodile flathead.

Hi GHow,

 

Thanks for your compliments! laugh.gif It just happen that I like to take some further snap shots of my preys. Hope you like it.

 

Back to the "Evolved Sculpin" aka Flathead... It is a common fish that we hit on the sand beds in asia. Over here, we hit them at estimated 30 cm at best. You will have to visit Aussie land to see these creatures 10 X times the size of what we catch here...

 

Here's one of the references...

Jimmy I was checking out your photos in the fish gallery. Saltwater fish sure are pretty. A lot of them seem to have the same type of body profile as my favorite fish, the bluegill. Anyway nice pics, especially the needlefish.
