Hi guy's, took the kid's fishing yesterday at Jacobs well tourist park and caught a variety of fish, but have no idea what this is. Any help would be great. Cheers woody.

The one on the left is a diamond fish also known as a butter bream and the one on the right is a member of a group of small, shallow water fish known collectively as the Crescent Perch.

Cheers

The "Crescent Perch" is also often called a "Crescent banded grunter" or just grunter. Gets confusing as there are many colloquial names for any species.

I call the one on the right a trumpeter.
