The usual fish we see as a Banjo is , though sometimes there are .
Fish like and are available from time to time, but price will be much higher for these.

The first two are not so easy, the others will be more obvious as they are very different looking from the normal banjo, and the price will also be much higher.
If you need help identifying, it's better to post photos here, preferably views from side and above.
