No problem, Mats, we can see how busy you are. I'm nowhere near my ftp uploader so I'm afraid I can't give you an updated cat list either. Update Sunday when I'm home.
In the meantime, make it a good one, my brain is getting rusty :lol:

Right. Here's a slightly cryptic one:
1. Well, I'm from the Amazon region.
2. Part of my name could be found in a bathroom shop.
3. Completely useless clue: My occurrence ID is 3111 - but you can't see that...

That's the one...

The "Well" in the first clue was intended as an extra clue, as well as "Cistern" being part of a toilet.

New fish.

Only one person keeps me, i'm tiny & i live in small forest streams (in Asia) & i'm brown with spots. My close relatives are extremely similar to me.

My species name could be "something unusual" & perhaps something to do with the 'link between reptiles and birds'?

Welcome back Grokefish & you are a winner!

If you scroll up above the close-up pic of the "bristles" is the last updated list from Tana.

How did you get it? From the clues or from my recent post/my cats list :D

Righto here we go:-

Part of my name could be a fishkeepers nightmare but not if you scare away the vampire, or so the tale goes.

That is all you are getting.

Well I take it you want more clues!

Here is a regional clue- I am very much from south america and I (Matt) am currently in a similar state due possibly to the cold weather.
