Scientific plurals?

Post by Matt »

Apologies if this has been asked before or is posted in the wrong forum; I couldn't find a more appropriate one. I have an interesting (read: probably stupid) question. Is there a plural for scientific names? Somehow I think no, but I've never known the answer to that. Is "<i>Corydoras habrosus</i>," for example, the plural as well as the singular? Terribly confused, and, yes, it does come up often in daily life, if you'd believe it. :wink:

All the best,

The singular and plural form should be the same.
