Nice fish but I have caught bigger on my local river. I wont tell you where it is in case it gets published in AT. We dont want the circus around here./forum/smilies/wink_smiley.gif

Not what I'd call a proper gudgeon, it will be ok when it grows up.

 

[Laurie Harper]

You forgot to draw spots on it with a felt pen...

 

[Lionel]

Did the Perch like it?

You shouldn't have said that Paul, you won't be able to get near it now. Gregs pen is already red hot writing AT's next exposure. The circus is on it's way down there already./forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif

With four barbules ?

Sir, you were misinformed.

Quite clearly this is a hybrid of stone loach (six barbules)with gudgeon (two barbules)- demonstratingnot only the mathematical laws governing allele assortment, but also the increase in size associated with hybrid vigour.
