"No, this isn't a Maori Wrasse!"
"Huh?"
"How could this not be a Maori Wrasse?"
The other two looked over in surprise.
The fish was on the large side. A-Zheng had only given the line one pull, and the fish was still underwater, but they could clearly see its blue-green skin and the blue sheen on its head. Its colors were vivid and beautiful, and it really did look like a Maori Wrasse.
