ok guys, i have decided to start a little forum game.
the game is called 'ID me'.
Rules.
ill post a picture of a fish in this thread and you guys have to guess what it is. the person who guesses the species correctly has 6 hours to post another picture of a fish for the rest of us to guess and so on. if a picture is not posted, it will be assumed they have forfeit their turn and i will post another pic.
there is to be no trade names used. all name must be currently recognised Latin scientific names. eg labidochromis caeruleus, not electric yellow.
all credit goes to the original photographer of all photos posted in this thread.
