Roach-Rudd hybrid? Mind you, I ought to come clean and add that, despite listening to every DaceAce film on the subject, I still find them more varied and more difficult to identify then anything else, so they tend to be my default setting for fish I’m not sure about!

On a couple the back fin appears slightly farther back in the photo - with one or two a straight line from pelvic to back fin. Just an illusion?

A nice fish, whatever its parentage might be.
