No.
ii) The Rainbow connection is aquatic, but not man made.

Hope we're not talking about Melanotaeniidae, because (too) many species names overlap

iii) We are, and that's a good point. I hadn't thought about the possibility of overlap.
iv) However, it's a very popular (and endangered) Rainbow..
v) The catfish you require is a South American

Wow, finally a correct answer

3 my speciesname is found in Asia as well, but I'm not asian myself

Nobody with an idea? let's provide another clue
4 a species from my genus has recently been identified on this forum

So we're talking about a fish from Brazil....
Could you expand a little on clue 1?

clue 1 phrased differently
1 If you know my name, you would assume to know what familie I'm in. However, this is wrong.
As an axample, Corydoras is not a Dorid, although doras would suggest this. (obviously, I'm not a Corydoras)

So I'm thinking it's something like along the lines of
- but I don't think it's that species at all, as
Glanis is a Asia + Europe species. Perhaps "Lophiobagrus", from Africa?

referring to clue 3, the speciesname would have to be related somehow to Asia - and iherengi is nog
So, Matts, I'm sorry, it's not right

6 Although I'm from Brasil, and my speciesname has to do with Asia, my keeper, I have only one, revers in his/her name to Africa

YESSSSS
pimelodella is in Heptapteridae, but the name would suggest Pimeloidae
lasterigata reminded me of Barbus lasterigata, coming from Asia (a large sized fish, 10 - 20 cm bolylength, if I rememeber correctly)
Marc, your turn

Very little time, so pls hang on for a couple of days or someone should volunteer for the new fish.

New fish:
1) my genus name indicates I'm not a full member of my family
2) my species name is not solely used for fish. Also the UK counterpart of car manufacturer Opel had types with that name

Nope. Wrong continent.
3) a small VW named after an animal may also be helpful

4) the VW does come from my (MvA) favourite continent
5) If you're not into cars, go for a certain browser

1) Hemi-
2) car ->
Vauxhall velox..?
3) VW
Beetle ->
Bembidion velox?
5) browser -> Fire
fox ->
Vulpes velox ?
Looking at the build of the fish,
velox (fast/speedy) seems an appropriate name..(not so sure about the Vauxhall).
