I was just thinking of re-naming a few common species of fish. I don't know any Latin, except medical Latin, so this might not work, but here's a few of my ideas:

Buccus vacuumus giganticus - Common pleco
Tyrannopiscus rex - Chinese Algae Eater
Betta liberaceous - Chinese Fighting Fish
Piranhus minor - Neon tetras
Offspringus multitudinous - Guppies
 
Trimaris nonexistens - Siamese Algae Eater.
 
Botia Macarena - clown loaches (cos they like to dance up and down my tank ;) )

On that note, I think my angelfish could be gluttonus macarenis for the way they dance and beg for food!
