Just had a thought. if i were to find a new species of fish, what would i want to name the little guy???

what would YOU name a new species of fish?

Nickfish - Nickoloptoid Australis

My name being "nick", me being from "australia" :naughty:
 
Friedrichpaulii

being that my name is Paul Friedrich.

hopefully, it wouldn't be a parachromis. that could get confusing.
 
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

If i was too go your way my name is Bradley Rootes so that would make my fish Rootesbradley

That sounds G4y! lol!!!!!!!!!!

The genus would have to fit established taxonomic protocols. However, the species name can be anything that's desired. Using your own name is common practice provided the name ends in 'i' to describe to readers that the new species was named after someone.

(example: Lake Tebera rainbowfish - Melanotaenia herbertaxelrodi. Named after Dr. Herbert Axelrod)
