Thanks AJT Unfortunately, the d in my word is correct (m_d_) so it won't work. Good though.

Following AJTs advice

Gut Make do to get Mado.

The Mado (in New Zealand), or stripy or eastern footballer (in Australia), Atypichthys latus, is a sea chub of the genus Atypichthys, found around southern Australia and the north eastern coast of the North Island of New Zealand to depths of about 60 metres, off headlands and offshore islands. Its length is between 15 and 30 centimetres.
