It must be a Hoplo then, yet the "small rocks" confuse me.....

I'm so out of my league but this is neat.
Megalechis thoracata from French Guiana? Small stones= huge precious and semi precious stone locale?

Richard you are now way ahead in the lead.

Aga= mouth
Myxis= mucus (goo)

"Imaculate"= not maculatus

Pebas= pebals, small stones

just out of interest how did you work it out?

Your turn.

Mattttt

Richard B · Post by **Richard B** » 26 Feb 2009, 15:03

I must confess - i don't really work them out

I read the clues & then surf through all your old posts & your "my cats" list to see if anything stands out, only then do i apply the clues to cat-e-log species. Therefore the trick is to pick cats you don't keep & have never commented on in the forums.

Ok then here we go...

If i was the catfish offspring of Malfoy Jnr with bony plates, this would be me!

I don't know whatever it is you people smoke, but it would likely be illegal even over here

man, Matt, how on earth do you mix it up.

those kind of riddles are in the "waaayyyyyy over my head league" I need somew serious LSD absuse to get down (or up) to your level of brainspin

good thing I had a nice headbreeze on my new bike

I guess some sort of catfish has 'draco' in its' name, but apart from a nonbony Pelteobagrus fulvidraco (?) i wouldn't even know where to start.

Yes, same as sid - I'd come up with , but the same - no bony blates.

So I guess my googling 7 different languages for pebbles, stones, wasn't so nutty

Forgot latin Duh! Latin seems kind of relevant....

Where's the Newbie what am I? Experts excluded! Don't call it Catfish For Dummies though.

I've got! I was 2 generations out...
Cottus scorpius
Doh! Not a catfish again

Post by **Marc van Arc** » 26 Feb 2009, 22:10

I think it has something to do with black. There are some catfishes that look even worse than Malfoy. What about ? The bony plates throw me off however. Surely it's not ??

Winner!

Bony plates would be a "doras"

Scorpious is the son of Draco Malfoy.

Post by **Marc van Arc** » 26 Feb 2009, 22:34

I hadn't expected another Doradidae so soon ......

Thanks to Panaque, for he/she came up with the scorpius-name, which made it easy for me to find a Doradidae containing that name.

Thinking about a new one atm.

No matter how old I'll get, I'll always be the youngest.
