Rainbow wishes people, A friend of mine has recently moved upto Darwin, from
Perth to work on a Tiger Prawn farm. He was recently telling me that when
they do a drain down of a pond to harvest prawns, they find thousands of
small 2 - 5 cm goby/gudgeon like fishes in the small remaining pools of
water. He tells me that the fish have iradecent blue lines or spots and
some red dots on their sides. Could they be Mogurndas? The salinity in the
prawn ponds is around 25 parts per thousand and the water is drawn from a
mangrove lined creek to fill the ponds up. I have told him to send me a
photograph of them or else send me down a bag full of them!
