when small cod are worked worked their colour changes and the stripe gets more obvious as they go lighter in colour, if you have ever caught small murray cod you will sometimes see fish even around 40cm with the strip, in waters that dont have trout cod so it cant be mistaken !
yes baby murrays have the strip through the eye! Ask any1 who has any idea about cod and you be proven wrong my friend, go have a look at a pet shop and you will see i am right !
She was 15cm, i tried to get her breeding and bought what i thought was a male. They are sooo bloody hard to sex, it was a smaller female which killed her :(
Mate if your Cod grows 4 cm a month he must be on steroids lol, they go through growth spurts they dont continuously grow at the same rate, that what i have noticed, and if your cod grows at that rate he will be leagl size in 14 months lol.
Baby Cod have the single strip too, he was 100% a Murray Cod
I doubt it highly, i have had 3 Murray cod before they all looked the same, all the small Cod i have seen look like Cod trout Cod, plus it is illegal to sell trout Cod as they are a protected species, these cod have been from 3 different shops in the ACT.
Yeah small Cod do look like trout cod, thank good they dont grow up to look like the ugly ducklings like the trouties ;)
And your growth question, i feed my fish heaps and he grew from 5cm to 16cm in around 6 months. He died yesterday :( i reckon from heat, then ultimately white spot from stress, RIP Tyson the Cod
I suggest you keep an eye on your water temp, try to make it stay 25deg and below on those really hot summer days, frozen water bottles would help a bit, to late for me though

thats a trout cod, not a murray cod, murrays dont have that stripe near the eye, and trout cods are prohibted.

Not again with this rubbish.
People who know about Cod, all know that small Cod and Trout Cod look very similar when very young.
Just get over it all, i know i am right!

I hope you moved your purple spotted Gudgeon. They are locally extinct in SA, we even have a breeding program to try and keep them going!!!

Are they in seperate tanks now.
How have you got a Purple Spotted Gudgen. I thought as an endangered species they would not be avaliable for the general public.

How kewl...The Cod kicked arse!We had to remove our Gudeon into its own tank after it killed 70% of our fish,then the Oscar killed it.
