Would we know if you're making this up?

 

[The-Wolf]

Liposarcus pardalis

invalid taxa now Pterygoplichthys pardalis
Greek, pterygion, diminutive of pteryx = wing, fin + Greek, hoplon = weapon + Greek, ichthys = fish
I can't find a mean for padalis but have found the Ocelot is called Leopardus pardalis, so
perhaps it was called that because of its markings?

Glyptoperichthys gibbiceps

Greek, glyptes = carver + Greek,peri = around + Greek, ichthys = fish
gibbiceps means With a hump on the head.

Hypostomus hemicochliodon

Greek, hypo = under + Greek, stoma = mouth
hemicochliodon = spoon-shaped teeth

Baryancistrus demantoides

Greek, barys = heavy + Greek, agkistron = hook

again two failuers on the second part

tis enough for me
if anyone else wants to take the challenge, feel free
