Hey lilcman

Welcome to AFO. If you need any advice it's always good to look through the old posts by using the search function.

I would agree with Breaming with bro. I caught one of them when prawning once (forgot to make an ID thread here after I did the report). Someone who was at the jetty told me it was poisonous.

Yeah Fortescue aren’t poisonous they are venomous although I don’t think their venom is strong it’s props similar to bullroat . The difference between venomous and poisonous fish is that venomous fish are safe to eat but are harmful to touch poisonous fish are opposite . Harmful to eat usually safe to touch for example most speices of toadfish are safe to touch but if cooked and eaten you will definitely get ill . Unless your in Japan and the chef is trained to cut certain parts of the toadfish or puffer that are safe to eat and don’t contain the venom
