Many fishes native to the Amazon basin are important aquarium fish. But one in species in particular outnumbers all the others in terms of numbers of specimens exported form the Amazon region each year. Which species is it? Neale Monks 22:15, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
See this rather curious fish. What fish is it? MiltonT 05:52, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
See another curious fish from Flickr. What fish is it? -- Melanochromis 17:15, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

This eel is used in Lyme Regis for a, locally, famous event. What is it? Bass fishing physicist 00:39, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
I kind of ran out of questions at the moment. So I'm going to ask people to do a simple task instead if you don't mind. Find a fish article that doesn't have a picture, add to that article a nice picture with proper licenses (or a public domain image). Then put a link here to show me which article you have done. -- Melanochromis 18:33, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
This blue and orange non-Chaetodontid fish feeds almost exclusively on Acropora corals, leading to its quick demise in captivity. What fish is this? MiltonT 20:27, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
The deceptive name of this fish supposedly comes from an English corruption of the method of transportation used to distribute it from present day Mumbai. Bass fishing physicist 23:38, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Have a loot at this picture. No, the question isn't whether the man was wearing any underwear. I just want to know what fish that is. -- Melanochromis 01:30, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
One common name of this fish is used because of its caudal fin, which appears to have writing on it as the fish changes from juvenile to adult forms. What fish is this? MiltonT 13:23, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
In Sweden, there is a dish served made of a particular fish species. It is likened to rotten fish and smells accordingly. Two part question. Name the dish and the fish. (Please be specific). Jnpet 11:27, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
This fish is said to be "bloodless" but it actually has a "colorless" blood. What is this fish (0.5 point)? and why is its blood colorless (0.5 point)? -- Melanochromis 17:56, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
The trunk belonging to one of the Twelve Apostles lends it's name to this fish. Bass fishing physicist 23:05, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
What are these numbers? -- Melanochromis 02:34, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Nice and easy this one. This righteye flounder sounds like it belongs in a mythical story, or perhaps Harry Potter :). Bass fishing physicist 15:48, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Take a look at this flickr image. What is this fish? MiltonT 03:56, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
According to some Chinese mythology, this fish can turn into dragons by completing a particular challenge. What is this fish (0.5 point)? And what is the challenge (0.5 point)? -- Melanochromis 07:03, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
This royalty is known as an amateur specialist of ichthyology and has published many papers and books on the subject. In 2005, a newly described fish was named in his honor. Who is this royal ichthyologist? (0.5 point) and what's the fish named after him (0.5 point)? -- Jnpet 02:10, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Look at the main fish in this flickr picture. What is that fish? Hint: its tankmates can give you clues where this fish is from. -- Melanochromis 07:57, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
The Oarfish is also commonly known as the King of Herring. But it seems that the herring have another king as well. What is the fish? MiltonT 01:35, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
In 2003 a new species of shark was discovered in the Gulf of California, the first new shark species to be discovered in the area for 34 years. What shark is this? Bass fishing physicist 15:36, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
It is believed by some that the name of this fish comes from the sound it makes while it sucks shelled prey. MiltonT 18:19, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
This fish is quite capable of living in both salt and freshwater. The marine ones however are well-armored while the freshwater lake counterparts aren't. According to a study, some oceanic well-armored fish were introduced into a freshwater lake in the 90s. The fish then evolved so rapidly that just about a decade later 90% of the fish lost their oceanic form and were no longer well-armored. What is this fish? -- Melanochromis 21:04, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
This tiny species, (no longer than 2.4 cm), has a very effective camouflage. It is so effective, it was accidentally discovered in 1970 when its host was collected and placed in an aquarium. What species is this? For a .5 point bonus, also name the host. (Have taken the liberty of adding a .5 point bonus as I did not ask a new question for half the correct answer on question 14 above). -- Jnpet 05:59, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
This fish's bite has been responsible for subduing a submarine. What species is this? MiltonT 13:32, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Have a look at this YouTube clip. I can count 10 different kinds of fishes in this tank. Can you give me a list of these fishes? The first person who can list 10 or more fishes will get 1 point. To make it easier, you don't have to name the exact species of the fish (unless you want to). Genus is good enough. Good luck. -- Melanochromis 23:51, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
The males of this species of fish has spoon-like extensions of the gill cover that are used during courtship. What species is this? MiltonT 13:23, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
