Do any of you know any easy way to tell a juvenile snakehead gudgeon
(Ophieleotris aporos) from a spangled gudgeon (Ophiocara porocephala)? I have
a one inch specimen in alcohol from the Ross River, it's a grayish colour with
a darker line down the middle length of the body. I've never kept nor
collected either species hence I am not at all familiar with them. If anyone
has any suggestions I'd greatly appreciate it.
Cheers
