H Houtarm Moderator May 19, 2017 #3 We call them Bottervis "Butterfish", but I think there are other names for them as well.
S Steenie 1990 Member May 19, 2017 #5 Other name for the fish is a two tone fingerfin. Thanks for the guidance
H Houtarm Moderator May 19, 2017 #6 Yes that's the other name I couldn't think of! They are expert bait thieves...:X
