Re: what fish is this?
Did you catch this fish in our waters ?
Look at it with a quick glance ... it looks like a red chinaman to me ...

* a deep elongated pit between the eye and nostril
Taking a closer look ... notice some black at the tip of the first dorsal fin ...
Hmmm ... Peace, any idea what fish is this ?

Re: what fish is this?
dBs, that's not the red chinaman but you got very close to the answer with that observation on the black tip fin. It's a Blacktip Grouper. Patrick, may I ask if this fish is caught locally?
Re: what fish is this?
Hey ... you hit it right again Peace.
I thought it did look like a grouper.
It will be interesting if it's caught locally.

Don't worry about it, there might be actually such fishes along our borders like horsburg.
