Fish Game #33

[Graeme]

Bah! I'm not Playing! Jesse put me in a Huff!!



Are you the Aphyosemion species? (now playing).





Graeme.

 

[Pufferpack]

Graeme...erm...I have been identified in the generia Aphyosemion...but I think this is a junior synonym (newer name)

 

[Jamnog]

oh please Graeme it no fun of your not playing and i have a secret rule that only i know about where i wait for at least two people to answer before i make up a name of the top of my head to see if its a fish.
edit : ahh well i notcied two people did answer and i would pm you with the name Foershichthys flavipinnis but i dont think it would be wise as i would hate to see you waist a go on an answer thats probably a type of plant... i think this book has to be wrong.. tut tut

 

[Pufferpack]

Is that your guess Jamnog?

 

[dolphin]

Hi Pufferpack

Are you a, Lampeye, Aplocheilicthys spilauchen.


Dolphin

 

[Jamnog]

nope ive made a decided decision that no im not going to make that my guess. no matter how much it looks like the actual answer i want Graeme to use my advice and guess all by himself... oh heck who am i trying to kid yea thats kinda a guess but i want to make it clear that i dont want to win.

 

[Pufferpack]

edit: Thats ok Jamnog...although Foershichthys flavipinnis (who makes up these names ) is a Killifish...unfortunately not the correct on in this case

Hi dolphin...sorry not Aplocheilicthys spilauchen


Clue: I was originally mis-identified in 1964 as "Burundi" which is an area in East Africa well outside my distribution area
