	Thankyou Australia - The Best Common Name Ever
Mez Ultimate Fish Guru Asian Hardfeather Enthusiast Posts: 3300 Votes: 162 Registered: 23-Feb-2001	Edited by Mez Well we got a shipment of stuff at work from australia. Freshwater stuff. Amongst them were these cardinal-type fish, but are actually freshwater. They are mouths with fins. Glossamia aprion is the name of the fish. The common name for this is one of the best i have heard and well suited for a fish ever. Ladies and gentlemen, please find out about MOUTH ALMIGHTY! http://www.nativefish.asn.au/mouth-almighty.html

Found in dense vegetation in streams, ponds and reservoirs. Also these were caught in fresh. There are similar speceis that are brackish, for sure, and some that are full marine..

The store owners must have mislabelled the fish.
