Two common grunters (Terapontidae) found in the waterways of Kakadu are the Sooty Grunter (Hephaestus fuliginosus) and Butler’s Grunter or Sharp-nose Grunter (Syncomistes butleri). These fishes were filmed schooling together in the catchment of the South Alligator River in Kakadu National Park. Archerfish or Riflefish (Toxotes chatareus) are also seen in this video.
