MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE THE FILE NAME OF THE PICTURE SO THAT IT DOES NOT CONTAIN THE NAME OF THE FISH OR ANY HINTS THAT MIGHT HELP PEOPLE FIGURE IT OUT.


This is for you impatient people. the rules are a bit different I'll post a picture of a fish or a picture with more than one fish in it. and you guess what the fishes common name or scientific name is. If you guess correctly then you post a picture and others try to guess what fish are in it. Don't cheat by looking at member profiles ok. try to use a reasonably clear picture please. We'll see how this works. It may need a bit of tweeking. Feel free to suggest rules.

Rule 1. You may guess as many times as you like but you must wait for another member to guess before you make your next guess. If 30 minutes passes and noone else has guessed then you may make one guess every 15 minutes.

Rule 2. In the interest of preventing two people guessing the same things, incorrect guesses will be posted below the picture. Once the correct answer is given the person who posted the picture should make a new post stating that the answer has been given and it's the winning members turn to post a picture.

Rule 3. Immediatly after the winner is informed that they have guessed the correct answer any member can post a picture of a fish. The first picture posted will be the next one to be guessed on. The winner does not neccessarily get to post the next picture in the lightning round. If you were the last one to post a picture please wait until the next round to post another one.

Rule 4. You may use any resource except for member profiles member posts and the name of the picture used. I urge members to change the name of the picture they use as well as temporarily remove the fish from there profile to help prevent cheating. Please don't cheat. You'll ruin it for yourself and everyone else if you do.

Rule 5. After five guesses the person who posted the picture may begin to post hints. 1 hint at a time and three guesses in between hints. hints can be whatever the member who posted the pics wants to give.

Rule 6. The lightning round will stay in this thread. If you have posted a picture and the competition goes onto another page please repost your picture as well as the incorrect answers that have been given so that people do not have to search for the picture.
 
For now, here's one then...

:p

Incorrect Guesses:
Bolivian Ram

Correct Answer:
RED NIGERIAN KRIB
 
rule 2 was put into place for two reasons. so that people can easily find out which fish have already been guessed and so that I didn't get accused of trying to increase my post count. It will also create a smoother running thread i think. So instead of posting no wrong answer after each guess just put I'm not a kribensis, ram, etc... underneath the picture and paste this onto each new page until the correct answer is guessed.

edit: thank you...you beat me to it =)
 
I didn't know the common name for it and I guess anna won, it is a Red Nigerian Krib, sorry for screwing it up anna, now make a new one :D
 
this is the lightning round thread. Anna does not neccessarily pick the next picture. It's whoever posts the first picture. The winner picks the next picture in the regular guess the fish game. By the way if you just posted a pic please do not post another until the next round.
 
Well, I got here first anyway. :p
