Previously Listed Catfish

I've got a few things to do before going home. I will post a question later on (in about 2 hours, I expect).

Took a bit longer.
1. My describer was honoured by a species of cichlid, which in turn was described by Stawikowski.
2. I'm from Venezuela.
3. Sidguppy would probably like me, if I didn't grow a bit too big.

This is a semi-random guess, so probably wrong..?

You want big, have a look at photo #5

(It would actually be a good enhancement to the clog tag to be able to specify which of the available images pops up when you hover the mouse on it.. As far as I can tell it only allows the first image? e.g. In this case being able to say: would do the trick..

Good guess, but no.

Nope. The name contains four e's.

Describer Fernandez-Yepez. Was honoured by Stawikowski in Uaru fernandezyepezi.
Or are you referring to a species name?

Yes, that's the describer. So what's the species?

That's the one.

[It was the second one on the "Randomly Select one"]

yup, that's my kind of fish!

actually i do have a Pterodoras in my showtank, a 45 cm long P granulosus.
it's a temporary guest from someone at the cichlidforum who's in the process of moving house and he couldn't find a tank to keep this monster.

so i volunteered......
there's also a smaller Megalodoras sticking around and that's another real beauty

the one drawback of both is not the size, but the fact that they go totally Auchenipterid on me: as in virtually invisible

wich shows you that I have plenty hiding space, if fish this size can be completely invisible in my tank.

so much for guests.

The next couple of days I'll be correcting exams and won't be around much, so I need a volunteer for a next riddle.

happy to oblige


clue:

the oneliner that catapulted Roy Scheider into fame!

species name translated = common name.

species name translated = common name.

"Eve" = Methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA)
Evelyn's Cory = ?

Not that one

1) My species and common name are also a street name for a form of amphetamine.

2) I'm from South America.

3) species name translated = common name.

4) a dorsal view is a clue

with a reference to "horse"

smart thinking

but unless streetvocabulary has changed a lot, "horse" used to be heroine
and heroine is an opium derivate, not an amphetamine.

amphetamines are uppers, the most common name (over here) is "speed", mdma (XTC) is also wellknown

I broke my head over finding some catfish called Velociglanis or something, but couldn't find one.

Nope, not .

1) My species and common name are also a street name for a form of amphetamine.

2) I'm from South America.

3) species name translated = common name.

4) a dorsal view is a clue

5) "form of amphetamine" is a pill.

6) a color is involved with the species and common name.

Apparently no-one on PC is into amphetamines......

uhuh

a "streetname" wich isn't known by anyone else

not much of a common street then.......
maybe it's a name only used in a back alley in some unknown town where nobody comes except collectors of rare and strange drugs?


Dave, you naughty boy, you
been fearing & loathing?

"as your attorney I advise you to take a hit of a the small brown bottle in my shaving can.
you don't need much
just a tiny taste"

? "Super Arcuatus"
Super = above Superus = upper.. Arcus = arch/rainbow

What this website lacks is a good emoticon for indicating puzzlement..

arcuatus doesn't mean super.

according to the hints the translation of the latin speciesname should be the common name.

i don't know what "arcuatus" means, but it doesn't mean 'super"
