What is the easiest scientific name for you to remember?

[AOmonsta]

Well for most of you that use common names more often (I notice a lot of people here only use scientific names)

For me:

Leporinus fasciatus - Black-banded Leporinus

Astronotus ocellatus - Oscar

If these were to change, my scientific dictionary would be depleted.

for me its polypterus delhezi and geophagus jurupari...

 

[GhostShrimpMan]

Pimelodus pictus - pictus catfish lol

trichgohaster (sp) Trichopterus - three spot gourami

barbus everetti - clown barb

corydora aneus - cory cat

polypterus senegalus - senegal bichir

Thorichtys Meeki - Firemouth

In my case, I recognize genus first, species second. That way, I at least know what type of fish is being spoken about.

 

[cellowithgills]

Ambystoma mexicanum - Axolotl
Ambystoma macrdactylum - Western Long-toed Sal
Ambystoma tigrinum - Tiger Sal
Dicamptodon tenebrosus - Pacific Giant Sal
