Fish Identification Game

[DrRob]

I checked with him, and he doesn't recognise the name Steve. Maybe one of the ones in the textbook with be recognised.

Aw shucks...  Worth a shot.  Must be a different fish from the one I knew.

 

[fm1978]

Aw, Steve, was that the one that got away? Is there anything you want to tell us, eagles?

 

[Paradise3]

On a serious note, is it a type of Sabretooth fish?

vampire tetra?

 

[Paradise3]

vampire tetra?

 
That's what I was thinking. I recognized it from River monsters.

 

[fm1978]

Sabretooth Characin or Payara?

 

[ncguppy830]

Sabretooth Characin or Payara?

looks like you won

 

[fm1978]

Actually, I think Paradise should win that one!

 

[DrRob]

Although you, fm, were the first to give the names as asked.

 

[fm1978]

Let's call it a draw then, Paradise! Hehe!

OK, I'll go but this will be easy...

 

[Paradise3]

It has to be Fresh or Brackish unfortunately or I would have tricked you all with Seahorses by now XD
 
But THAT right there, is a Tiger Shark(Galeocerdo cuvier)

 

[fm1978]

Nope, it is not a tiger...

Put it this way, it falls within the rules...just!

 

[JellOh]

A river shark or Glyphis

 

[Paradise3]

I can see the markings on it and I've seen the image before.
The only true sharks that live in fresh water are the Glyphis Species and the Bull Species. I see no elongated snout and it is not a Bull shark. Not chunky enough.
