Ok, let's go:

1) My species name refers to a guy who was sentenced for tax fraud in 2005.
2) My pattern is a bit variable

1) An oddity in the fishroom.

2) Fishbase lists it as Bathybagrus.

A cichlid friend found him in a shell and
brought him home for me!

torbanite from a few posts back...:

I didn't understand the dancer thing..?

From the species page: "Hemidoras: From the Greek hemi, meaning half, and doras, meaning skin".
Okay, it was a lame clue but I couldn't think of anything else that might qualify as half & skin

I see we have a new player! Cool!

Here's the updated fish list:
Previously Listed Catfish

New fish:

1) Although I lack a species name, I do already have a common one
2) When my common name is pronounced, the latter part sounds like a word that means "fate"
3) One of my keepers is a sea predator
4) The other one likes me very much

Africans squeak -> Synodontis
sound German -> (der) Schall is a german word for sound.

Oh bummer, was going to guess , also called a Tana Squeaker even though the common name is not on PC. Syno squeaks African and I grew up in Germany!
No eh? I wasn't really named after it but I can always pretend.

Fish list updated and I'm off to moose country for several days - dodging not hunting - so keep the boat afloat.

New fish:

1) My genus name can be divided in two parts
- the first part is shared with an auchenipterid and a doradid (could well be more species btw)
- the second part is quite common in catfish
2) my species name has something to do with time

Don't scare them off by squeaking too loud

new fish (should be really easy):
I get my species name from a lake where many species of fish are exported
I grow large
