What's this fish, then? quiz

No prizes, but the pic is for a picture library, and they want to know what sort it is. I'm just a bloody snapper, not a bloody ichthyologist.

Should have said: They live in the harbour. These were just by the brige in front of the customs house.

According to the Rhodes day trippers who congregate on the bridge they are Oolook fish.

Thanks Kon. As for the rest of you, you can see that it IS possible to give a sensible answer to a simple question. There is far too much frivolity on this website. And sit up straight when I'm talking to you.

Perhaps they were exchanging views about the onlookers...."I bet that lot think we're Oolook fish", "nah, they'll be thinking we're great whites", "smile for the nice man with the camera", blah blah....do fish go blah blah I wonder :?:

Jon I love it when you're masterful ;) :P !

When we were sailing in the Red Sea, dolphins would ride the waves alongside the boat, looking down on the deck from the crests and we always got the feeling that they were keeping an eye on things. :D
