Guess what monster fish this is

[guppy]

I found that predatory carp after you posted the second picture but I took to long.

go ahead bring one on, bring it!!!

 

[guppy]

I think Fugupuff got lazy, this one is freshwater even if it doesn't look it, about a foot long

 

[DeLgAdO]

looks like a cod

 

[guppy]

Not a cod (no barbels and scales are wrong) The key to getting in the right family will be the dorsals and the mouth shape

Nibea soldado

 

[guppy]

Nope not a Nibea.

 

[Mahseer]

There sure is a strong resemblance

How about Johnius carouna :

 

[guppy]

Bingo! Johnius borneensis but close enough, a fresh water croaker called the sharpnose hammer croaker and the way to tell them apart is by dissecting their airbladders, if it is hammershaped and the fish is from the Phillipines it is the borneensis, if it is from farther west and has a sock shaped air bladder it is the carouna. It is bit hard to tell from a picture, eh? there are a few differences like one more dorsal spine, a slight shape variance of the mouth and gill cover and the borneensis has a first anal spine that is much more lightly formed than the others.
Post one up Mahseer.
