Zander or Zingel ?

[lector]

perhaps this will help?

In Europe, a second species (Lucioperca wolgensis) is limited to rivers in southern Russia and basin of Danube river.

or this ...

The Danube streber (Zingel Streber) is yellow-brown in colour and has several dark bands crosswise along its body. The average length is approximately 15cm, but it can grow to over 18cm long.

The Danube streber is found in fast-flowing river stretches. It becomes active after sundown when it searches for food. A remarkable characteristic of the Danube streber is its ability to hold itself on the riverbed, against even the strongest currents. It feeds almost exclusively on organisms that are driven near it by the water.


seems to be a river fish only?

[Minoru]

lector. Thanks for comments.

Since the Zingel seems to be restricted to the River Danube, it would seem Zander is the answer that best fits the question.

Zebra fish?

Trussell,

Zebra is already an answer elsewhere in the quiz so do not think zebra fish would apply. Thanks for the suggestion.

Zander..........widespread in E. Europe in both lakes and rivers.
