Apogon aprion J. Richardson, 1842 Apogonichthys gillii Steindachner, 1867 Mionorus lunatus Krefft, 1868 Gulliveria fasciata Castelnau, 1878 Gulliveria fusca Castelnau, 1878 Apogonichthys roseobrunneus MacLeay, 1881 Apogonichthys longicauda De Vis, 1884 Gulliveria ramsayi MacLeay, 1884 Kurandapogon blanchardi Whitley, 1939 Glossamia aprion is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish from the family Apogonidae, the cardinalfishes, from northern Australia and New Guinea.

They also have many irregular, darker brown spots and blotches, which vary in size, and a dark bar which runs from the eye to gills.

[3] G. aprion is native to still or slowly flowing fresh waters, where it shelters in aquatic vegetation growing in the shallows near the edges.

It is a nocturnal species which ambushes its prey, mainly small crustaceans, insects, and smaller fish.

These are brooded by the male in his mouth, and the larvae hatch at a quite advanced stage.
