Something Fishy

[earthakitten]

Answer will live in the water (no amount of letters given)
19. Good and dead a long time
John Dory has already been suggested but I can't see it !
I am trying to think of something ending with ... age or eon but perhaps I am on the wrong track. None of the other answers are particulary obscure. Help needed, this is my last one. xx

Davy Jones' Locker ?

[Trussell]

sturgeon?

[Argee2]

Just a thought - Gudgeon begins with G (good) and ends with eon (long time) but I cannot see the middle bit.

[earthakitten]

Evening ontarioice ... good thinking as it does not have to a a fish. Is this a guess or can you tell me how you came up with it ? xx

Hi Trussell ... I have that for another one. I did think whether it was a repeat but I can't fit 'sturg' to Good and dead from the dictionary. xx

[earthakitten]

Thanks Argee2 ... Yes, it's a shame 'udg' does not mean dead else it fits perfectly. xx

G + old fish = goldfish (?)

Sorry for delay Earthakitten. I was out for the afternoon.
Re: Davy Jones' Locker it just came to mind because it is where all the dead sailors are supposed to be so they'd be dead for a long time down there with Davy Jones.

Postscript for earthakitten.
I may be way out in left field with Davy Jones' Locker but take a read at this:

Thanks for the suggestions Dinkypuzzle and ontarioice. Sorry for the delay. Had to give in and take the headache to bed !
Certainly given me something to think about. I just wish I knew which one to pick. xx
