Fish Identification Game V2

[DreamertK]

This species is endemic to Peru where it is found in the upper Amazon basin. P. microps is a rheophile, which means it likes fast-moving water. The sexes of P. microps can be distinguished by the width of a naked trapezoidal area framed by four bony plates in the genital region; this area appeared broader in females, and longer and narrower in males.

Sisor rhabdophorus?

 

[MBOU]

Nope and nope and I like them, just rubbish at identifying them and wanted a difficult one

 

[fm1978]

Zaireichthys wamiensis?

 

[MBOU]

Awww damnit!! That was too fast! You got it fm!

 

[DreamertK]

Fm's first guess would have been pretty difficult, as there are very few photos of it on the internet. At least I gave you the dignity of time.

 

[fm1978]

Oooo, cool, well I'm going to try and get one right this time...I've made a couple of mistakes and misidentified ones I've posted, so I'll be more careful!

Yick a spider. About the same size and diet of RCS, are they aggressive at all with those little claws?

I suspect you already know the answer to that, but, I'll play along...
 
This spider-like creature would have a very similar diet to small shrimp, but, they may also filter feed!

[fm1978]

Take everything you can get! 
 
Dreamer seems to have special fish powers...he's bloomin Aquaman, isn't he?

 

[Paradise3]

Wait, what? When did MBOU answer that last one?

 

[MBOU]

I didn't, they got wrong person

 
I am sure I know what it is but cant work out exact species as none of the ones I find match exactly

 
Will just have to go with...
 
Nine-spine stickleback (Pungitius pungitius)?
