I have a problem with, 1. across "small bottom-loving freshwater fish"
and 3. down "type of dogfish".
Excuse my lack of local knowledge, for I live in Tasmania and none of my "pommie" friends have been able to help me.
Cheers,
John H.

Bullhead, huss

how many letters for each clue ????????
You could have things like gudgeon, stone loach , for bottom dweller
or smooth hound for dogfish etc ?????????????

Ten to one already gave him the correct answers so he doesn't really need to stay on, plus in Tazzie it's maybe bedtime.

hi heppy for dogfish i would definitely say as ten to one has "huss"
as to the bottom loving fish suppose it could be from anywhere really but would presume it would be a fish from the British Isles ????
