Fish ID anyone?

      I saw this fish in a lake in the Azores but what is it?
    • DesertRhino150
      European perch Perca fluviatilis, I would say. There are apparently only seven species of freshwater fish (only one native) in the Azores, so I doubt there is much chance of confusion.

      Excellent! I couldn't find much info on fresh water fish in the Azores.

      @DesertRhino150, really care to mention which species? Any endemisms like killifish or something?
    • DesertRhino150
      @Kifaru Bwana No endemisms in the Azores - the only native species that occurs in freshwater is the European eel.

      The other six introduced species are the European perch, common carp, Northern pike, rainbow trout, roach and zander.

      This information is all taken from Fishbase.
