SA: Crenicichla acutirostris & Aequidens metae

African: Pelvicachromis humilis & Cyathopharynx foae

European... Got me. I don't think there are any. If you know of some I'd be thrilled to know.

[goldfries]

wow

u people actually remember the scientific name for those fish?

 

[Anton Wernher]

Often times it’s easier to remember the scientific names over the common names. Once you learn the traits a specific genus shares it’s easy to recall a specific species. My knowledge of genus and species is really tied up in new world cichlids however other cichlids and other fish in general become learned through their commonality in the hobby.
