What a mouthful........................... I prefer the common name.............:bsmilie: :bsmilie:

 

[Schmike]

that's the problem with all the scientific names. but some fish will share similar or same common names which confuses newbies.

Well, I guess not only fishes, insects, birds, plants & so on have scientific names. Good thing someone came up with common local names.
Otherwise all of us will have our tongues twisted in no time...............:bsmilie: :bsmilie:

a fish that i never thought i would get.

Oscar (Astronotus ocellatus):

 

[madmartian]

Is this the fierce type? :think:

 

[Schmike]

Don't think oscars are that fierce compared to some of my collections.

You put tarzanboy in your tank, he'll eat up all your fishes..................:sweatsm::sweatsm:

Chances of him spooking the rays n getting stung by them when he tries to catch them is much higher than him eating my fishes. But overall, rays are very safe to keep.

my 2nd try at a Goliath African Tiger Fish (Hydrocynus goliath):

 

[madmartian]
