[Toirtis]

so it is a
"Oxyeleotris marmorata"

People over at monster fish knew it right away.

Thanks guys

Sorry, if I had seen this thread earlier, I would have beaten them to it (By the by, it is commonly known as a 'soon hock', and does taste pretty good.). I have a couple myself, and they are definitely one for a species-tank....and be warned, they have a wicked bite. Mature size is actually closer to 40cm, not 65cm, though.

Thing looks like a beast...

That fish is actually a delicacy, taste really good.
It's carnivorous and will eat anything, even double it's weight.
But growth wise pretty slow...

Ugliest fish I've ever seen. Those guys at MFK are nuts. :dance2:

Almost looked like a baby Walleye with the dorsal arrangement, but I got to thinkin that I have definately seen that fish before somewhere else. After MANY minutes of deliberation, I realized that the Fish markes in South Korea are packed full of 16-18 inch versions of that little guy, and they doo indeed taste GREAT

yea they're pretty good.
