These are actually Snub-nosed Darts (Trachinotus blochii) not Threadfin Trevally. There is also a Copperband Butterflyfish (Chelmon rostratus) and three Double Saddled Butterflyfish (Chaetodon ulietensis) in the background.
@Yoshistar888 All good. I saw plenty of lifers when I visited Melbourne Aquarium in 2018 as well. I loved the mudskipper tank - the ones at Melbourne aquarium are Silverstripe Mudskipper (Periophthalmus argentilineatus) in case you were wondering. I didn't see the Necklace Carpet Shark in the Bay of Rays pool though.
@WhistlingKite24 I saw the necklace carpet shark. I had to crawl down the viewing window.
I had never heard of Silverstripe Mudskippers before, I just labled them as mudskipper sp because i couldnt be bothered, but the mudskippers are easily the best part of the aquariums pathetic Freshwater collection.
You might not know but the Bowmouth Guitarfish (Shark ray) isn't at the aquarium anymore im not sure if it passed away or was transported (most likely the former).
Also they have Pig Nosed Turtles now (fly river turtles), super cute!.
@Yoshistar888 That's a shame about the Bowmouth Guitarfish. I saw my first one at Melbourne. SeaWorld Gold Coast still has a few of them though along with White-spotted Guitarfish (Rhynchobatus australiae) in the same tank.
Pig-nosed turtles are cool. There used to be some at Sea Life Sunshine Coast.
