Galaxias
Galaxiids (Order: Galliformes)
GALAXIAS
Galaxias are a genus of small freshwater fish. They are scaleless and somewhat tubular in body form. Only Mountain Galaxias are commonly recorded in the region. Stocky Galaxias are restricted to one known site. Any sighting of galaxiids will help provide a greater understanding of this genus.

The Galaxias spp. of the Dorrigo plateau are poorly described: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/264789657_Dorrigo_Plateau_-_a_biodiversity_hot-spot_for_galaxiids
I've marked this as G. olidus, however it may be an undescribed species. @MattBeitzel any thoughts?
