In Response To: The chestnut, again! (Hans)

Hans, your descriptions of the fins sounds like women's legs!

Seriously, in the pics I've got despite the fact that I said most would look and say 3 Yoyos, there are differences if you look deeper.

The Yoyo, I'm confident is just that.

The birdi has indistinct, more dappled markings, but not as strongly marked as the one in that German site link you posted. More like that pic JD has on his site, but less of an overall pattern. I think it looks like a reasonably young fish.

The rostrata is more like a Yoyo, but the body shape is far more that of a morleti, with a domed head profile and shorter nose than any Yoyo you've seen.

Martin.
