The spangled grunter or spangled perch (Leiopotherapon unicolor) is a species of fish in the family Terapontidae. It is endemic to Australia. This fish lives in fresh, brackish, and salt water. It also tolerates variable pH and temperature. It can be found in lakes, streams, and billabongs. It can live in very small collections of water, such as puddles and accumulations of rainwater in road ruts. The hydrophone recordings of spangled grunters can be used to monitor the health of a freshwater ecosystem.
