New Zealand Freshwater Fish

11004-38812 Speckled Caudy, or 'leopard fish' (Phalloceras caudimaculatus) are native to South America. Apparently the species was first reported in stock troughs in Northland, the water having been pumped from a nearby stream. In 1966 as a young boy, Rod found small numbers in Western Springs among a population of mosquito fish (Gambusia affinis).
