Fish Identification Game V2

[Paradise3]

Paratilapia polleni

 
We have similar tastes

Helps if it isn't a stunning fish I love the look of! And I hadn't been showing colleague a book of cichlids and chatting about what I knew of the species he pointed at lol.

 
Haha, my decision was influenced by the fact that I was looking at a fish species site and my boyfriend pointing them out and went "My old girly!"
 
Your go

*bump* ^^

 

[Paradise3]

Hypsophyrs nematopus - Poor Man's Tropheus XD
 
Easy

 

[MBOU]

Indeed, but way nicer and less homicidal than tropheus in my experience!

 

[Paradise3]

Right, my last go tonight

 
Latin name please
 
I won't be guessing anymore tonight or if I do my turn will go to someone else because I'm stumped for idea's after this XD

 

[MBOU]

Awwww c'mon... that's mean LOL its clearly a 'whiptail' of sorts but so many darned species lol

 

[MBOU]

This is infuriating!! I know I have seen this picture before and I know I am searching in the right family but every time I come across a picture of the same species, it doesn't have the name on it and the page is in a different language! Rargh!!

 

[Paradise3]

It's not a Farlowella, that should half it at least XD

 

[DreamertK]

Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes) > Siluriformes (Catfish) > Loricariidae (Armored catfishes).

Dasylocaria filamentosa?

Seeing as we are playing 'lets be reallllllllly difficult with awkward fishes'... ponder on this
