I was actually scrolling down the synonyms list to find an Italian sounding name without picture (it's a drawing), but forgot to look at the date of description. That also rules out an Ancistrus sp starting with an italian sounding d-name.

Another clue pls?

Bingo!

Hang on....

I could have been an Auchenipterid, yet I have 1 pair of barbels too many.
Common people put me on their bread.
An old species name of mine involves a tree species

Richard B · Post by **Richard B** » 24 Feb 2009, 23:25

A bagrid?

Post by **Marc van Arc** » 24 Feb 2009, 23:28

Nope.

I could have been an auchenipterid by looks.
For some reason African people think I mow lawns?

for you too!

OK heres a brain buggerer ( I think but you guys are all very clever)

My mouths full of goo but my body is "imaculate".
Not a sucky fish.

Hee hee.

I gotta go to bed now, I'm pooped.

Matt

Post by **Marc van Arc** » 24 Feb 2009, 23:46

Explain: goo ??

Richard B · Post by **Richard B** » 24 Feb 2009, 23:53

Marc van Arc wrote:Explain: goo ??

I presume Matt means an oozing sludge, like ectoplasm, or the slime of a slug.

Dave Rinaldo · Post by **Dave Rinaldo** » 24 Feb 2009, 23:59

Just a stab at imaculate.

(not a Clog link)
Pseudecheneis immaculata

torbanite · Post by **torbanite** » 25 Feb 2009, 01:01

Maybe a Slobbering catfish ?
- "immaculate" in the sense of spotless i.e. "no spots on body"..

(If that's correct, please set another one.! )

A sticky icky substance.

Matt

grokefish · Post by **grokefish** » 25 Feb 2009, 07:45

Not Pseudecheneis immaculata

Not Brachyplatystoma.

I have slightly changed the original clue so people dont get a bum steer Like Dave see below

Clues:

I have goo in my mouth but I am "immaculate"
Not a sucky fish.

Next clue:

I was first identified in a place that could almost be small stones.

Then give another clue (in English

)

grokefish · Post by **grokefish** » 26 Feb 2009, 08:43

Well, I thought the last clue was fairly obvious, but then I know this species very well,I have been trying to breed them for years, I have heard they build nests in floating plants,which is your next clue.
