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.

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.

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 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
??

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.
