[Tokis-Phoenix]

2 depends on pH

Generally speaking though .

7 Non- they belong to the family Callichthyidae

True but Callichthyidae are a part of the group you know i'm sure you know i'm talking about- there are also there are two subfamilies in Callichthyidae so it depends on how technical we get with these things but i wanted to keep things simple as possible as someone would not be mistaken for thinking a Corydoras was one of those groups i listed (especially since they are listed under one of those groups in the forums fish species index) .

Interesting quiz and fun too, some of the questions need a little refinement however.

Thanks for the tips !
