we catch them here in OZ...we call them Rubber Lips, GT's or the variation Golden Trev's, If you can get your bait to the bottom with out a trev smashing it your lucky, they put up a good fight to.

>__< i saw one in fw for sale at a lfs a year ago... and i thought it wouldnt make it in fw since i thought these r like off - shore sw specie ... and i only have a 30gal with goldfish back then...so i didnt get it :/

so can they survive in full fresh? o.O
 
I hear these are a saltwater fish that grows 5ft and at a very young size, has extremely long filaments on the anal and dorsal fins.

You are thinking of 2 different fish. The one with the long anal & dorsal fin is a Kagami Ulua AKA Mirror trevally.
 
Wow i'm suprised no sw/fw conversion debate has broken out

Hey Li, any full tank shots, its been a long time since we've seen his tank :)
