The Nurseryfish is a large freshwater fish - growing to around 60cm long - and found in Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and Australia. Here he makes his home in brackish waters, estuaries and slow-moving rivers. His diest consists of small fish and crustaceans. A popular game fish, his taste is well regarded and he is commonly eaten. The male's forehead is covered in a cluster of short hooks. These are used to anchor the egg clusters in place until the hatch.
