Barry and Peter U mentioned co-existence of fishes other than Rainbows-

I first thought of the Hypseleotris group and especially the
gallii/klunzingeri complex and their regular co-existence in streams in
Eastern and SE Qld ( and other areas too probably)

Also Craterocephalus stercusmuscarum and C. marjoriae in several streams in
SEQ e.g. Delaney's Ck, Little Yabba Ck etc

Also with Ambassids - there is some overlap between the habitat occupation
at the upper estuarine level of some of the marine species e.g. A. marianus
with A. agasizzi (nigripinnis) in SEQ but further north and west we see
regularly that A. macleayi co-exists with several other Ambassids in
different regions e.g. A. agrammus, A. mulleri and ?A. elongatus. The other
wildcards in the Ambassid group seem to be the smallest and the largest.
Denariusa bandata can co-exist in several combinations and Parambasss
gulliveri turns up in scattered areas with some others as well e.g.
Townsville, Gulf rivers and Victoria R etc
