Title: Fish Post by: Plasticpig on August 11, 2009, 02:26:51 PM About three months back the kid across the road knocked on the door and asked if we wanted this fish he had in some water in a carrier bag. He'd been down the river and said he was going to put it down the drain.
We put it in our pond, expecting it to die soon as its a fresh water river fish. Today my mrs cleaned out some of the duckweed, lilly leaves and other crap on the surface, and this is what we saw. Title: Re: Fish Post by: Manky Monkey on August 11, 2009, 02:33:32 PM Coo!
.....what is it? Title: Re: Fish Post by: Plasticpig on August 11, 2009, 02:51:25 PM She thinks its a Bream, but we're not sure. Any fishy experts here?
Title: Re: Fish Post by: BikerGran on August 11, 2009, 08:18:46 PM My other half the angler doesn't know what it is but reckons it's prolly not a bream! Not a good angle for identification apparently.

Title: Re: Fish Post by: trikerpete on August 11, 2009, 09:37:31 PM silver bream in uk is a deeper bodied fish and looks like this http://www.fisheries.co.uk/news/news/2009silverbream.htm
its hard to recognise what fish you have, is there any distinct colours/patterns/shape to it? Title: Re: Fish Post by: Plasticpig on August 11, 2009, 09:43:54 PM Definately not a Bream then.
From what I have seen of it, it is grey-brown on top. Dunno about its belly. We had half a dozen goldfish last year, but we had a heron in the garden and only one is left. and the other fish follows that around. Title: Re: Fish Post by: trikerpete on August 11, 2009, 09:45:38 PM did you know that most goldfish are black for a year or more after they are born. we have black goldfish that are about 5 or 6 inches long :)

Title: Re: Fish Post by: Plasticpig on August 12, 2009, 07:40:31 AM We looked at some pictures last night and think it might be a Chub.
Title: Re: Fish Post by: trikerpete on August 12, 2009, 08:13:33 AM We looked at some pictures last night and think it might be a Chub. chubb...quite slender when young, lips are fairly thick which are forward facing. some fish have lips that face upwards or downwards depending if they feed at the surface or from the river/lake bed. Title: Re: Fish Post by: trikerpete on August 12, 2009, 08:14:35 AM THey'd go lovely with some chips & a big dollop o' ketchup. :P dont tell chrissie that, im banned from fishing in our pond :)Title: Re: Fish Post by: Plasticpig on August 12, 2009, 01:27:44 PM We looked at some pictures last night and think it might be a Chub. chubb...quite slender when young, lips are fairly thick which are forward facing. some fish have lips that face upwards or downwards depending if they feed at the surface or from the river/lake bed.
