Re: what am I?
The musical references are great; don't abandon them!!
I've found out how to paste the list into a post, yet I can't edit the list which makes pasting a silly thing. Anyone pls fill me in with a "how to edit"
Next fish:
1) People think I look like a mammal
2) Even my species name refers to a female mammal

anything from Iron Maiden after or Bach and before is good for me - those in between bits are iffy!
I think you might have this one!
Sorry, you can't edit it.. I had to stick it on my own website so we wouldn't use up a whole page each time the list was posted. Couldn't think of a better idea but I'm open to any if. If it's ever behind it's usually only by one fish and only a few hours. I put the pasting code at the bottom of the list. You guys will just have to wait for the Iron Madtom to wake from her beauty sleep, 'cos you don't wanna see me after an ugly sleepI've found out how to paste the list into a post, yet I can't edit the list which makes pasting a silly thing.

Don't you love how cool German is? Look:
Gefleckter Silberantennenwels means “spotted silver-coloured antennae catfish"
My first guess:
or maybe
Eek, already had that one! nevermind....

Re: what am I?
Here's another shot:
Pimele = fat
Commonly = most common Pimelodus species
Loose antennae = long barbels that act as if unrestraint

If so, I bet it's about a cross/hybrid and I think it must be , made of Phractocephalus and Pangasius. What other use for this one than for food?Jools wrote:No, but you are in the right, culinary, area.

Re: what am I?
Sorry, it's not about food fish. That clue was around another food often made from duck liver for example but you can make it from many other things - it's nice on toast.Marc van Arc wrote:If so, I bet it's about a cross/hybrid and I think it must be , made of Phractocephalus and Pangasius.

Re: what am I?
Nope, the "devil" clue applies to the first name, as does the very first clue, "loose" and also the "antennae" clue applies to the second part of the first name. The other clue, which is to the species name, is a food that can be eaten on toast.torbanite wrote:devils.. The Goonch?Jools wrote: All inaccurate, but all quite close.

Argh! That must be it! I got the hint - wrong genus,wrong species - so I've been looking through the pim family list for ages but I thought "you devils" was just a Joolism
Maybe a clue should have been "revolting on toast"
Coming from a country that eats whale and seals, I should shut up...

No guess.... this time

I already have a new riddle, but will wait for Jools' approval.
Etymology part of data sheet should be completed btw. The current text only refers to the species name.
Haggis tastes quite good; just try to forget what's in it

Agreed and can't wait - good clues result when you can stew on a fish for a while. Still hungry apparently...fish + stew.No guess.... this time

I'll try the Haggis if you'll try the Prairie oysters. Especially now that I know how to spell haggis correctly
