>This fish (Aus Orange spot
istle nose) caused quite a bit of heated debate a while ago when some one in Victoria labled this fish "Brown peppermint"as adult fish.<

>They tried to prove their point by posting pics of juvinile fish (with thier characteristic rusty orange spots) as a different species to the "
own peppermints"<

own peppermint'' adults just to prove our argument that the Victorian claim was wrong and decieving.<
