As you saw in the last post’s video, there were some really amazing cod fish shown.
So, I figured I would show you a little bit more about them.
As you could guess, they are regular inhabitants of the Great Barrier Reef.
They can actually reach a length of 2 meters – that’s about as big as a reef shark, but it’s so much heavier and more bulky too!
Wasn’t that awesome? I would love to do this one day…They are real gentle giants of the fish world…
