Fish Game #33

[Bloo]

Rules:

1: The person who starts the game (the games master) thinks of a fish and posts a small clue as to the type of fish it is. After 3 guesses he/she should post a new clue.

2: No one may ask 2 questions in a row. After a question has been asked you must wait until someone else has asked a question before you may ask a new question.

3: You may make a guess after a question but you cannot make 2 guesses in a row either. After a guess you must wait until someone else has asked a question before asking another question or guessing again

4: Questions must only be answered YES or NO

5: All fish should be posted in common and/or scientific name if the fish has too many common names.

6: The person who correctly guesses the fish is the games master for the next round and should start in a new thread with a new game number and a copy of the rules.

Small = under 4 inches
Medium = under 12 inches
Large = over 12 inches

OK, I'm going to spice up this game a little this round.
If there are valid (in my opinion ) complaints, I'll start again.

First Clue: Unusual Saltwater Fish

 

[rdd1952]

Don't know much about SW fish but I can at least start. Is it medium?

 

[Bloo]

nope

 

[chishnfips]

is it a bottom feeder?

 

[modernhamlet]

Ack. SW messes up my geography orientation!

Is it from the Pacific Ocean?

 

[rdd1952]

Is it small?

 

[chishnfips]

can it sting you, eg, with spines or something

 

[Bloo]

is it a bottom feeder?

nope

Ack. SW messes up my geography orientation!

Is it from the Pacific Ocean?

Nope - to the very best of my knowledge

Is it small?

nope

can it sting you, eg, with spines or something

nope

OK, next clue: This fish has made the headlines

 

[CFC]

Was it once thought extinct?

 

[rdd1952]

Well, that means it is large. The only large fish I can think of that has made the headlines around here lately is at the new aquarium in Atlanta. Is it a whale shark (probably not as I think those may be from the Pacific)?

you're not allowed to play this game (kidding of course!)
but yes

nope - but good try.
The one I'm thinking of pretty much made the world headlines (because of reasons above).

Next clue:
a ) It has modified cosmoid scales, which are thinner than true cosmoid scales, which can only be found on extinct fish.
b ) The first live specimen was first discovered in 1938

 

[rdd1952]

I think I know what it is but can't guess twice in a row (and I was just game master before this one so someone else needs to have a chance). I remember reading about it now.

 

[Bloo]

yeah but I've just given clues - and you let me do the same thing the last round ?

 

[chishnfips]

is it the Mola mola

 

[Bloo]

is it the Mola mola

What an amazing fish - but alas, no
