Have a look at the post below. You have to scroll down quite a bit.
Not all names are scientific names, but you'll certainly get a better idea.

If there still are unknown names that you are interested in but can't find out, just ask. We can always give it a try.

Now you have made me very happy, for I've found the native name name of my favourite fish on that site: Novia torito. I was told this one was known as leaf fish, but that's of course no native name and it can be applied to other fishes as well. Thanks a lot

BTW: note that the page is named Pimelodidae, but there are Doradidae and Auchenipteridae on it as well.....
