Adivina el pez! (Game!)

[OiFisho]

I have gotten feedback from a few of you that you like these weird little posts so here's one! If you don't know why I put the title in spanish, I don't either! So, basically I have used my brain to create a 20 questions like game but quicker, and with only fully aquatic animals(Fish, shrimp, crab, fully aquatic amphibians, etc) Adivina el pez means guess the fish, and that's what the game is. You give 10 clues for people to try and guess the fish, and if someone gets it right, they get a good reaction and/or reply from the person who gave the clues. If you don't give them that, Imma get real angy and cry! Now, you wouldn't want me to cry, I'll even send a picture of my tears. Because there is no way of me telling if this happens, I give doubt benefit!

I start,

1. freshwater

2. Is amphibian

3. They grow up to 2.5 in

4. Mostly rely on smell for food

5. Have bad eyesight

6. They love to explore

7. Are social

8. peaceful

9. 4-5 can live in a 10 gal aquarium

10. Recommended tank size with fish is 20 gal

Did I make it too difficult?

 

[Kribensis27]

I can't think of what it would be!

 

[OiFisho]

[Kribensis27]

They said large rostrum, cryptic coloration, and mostly vegetarian, so I don't think so.

Guys, look up “fish rostrum”, then think about which aquarium fish have a structure like that.

 

[Kribensis27]

Nope

Guys, look up “fish rostrum”.

I only get sawfish, paddlefish, and goblin sharks.

Halfbeaks?

 

[The_fishy]

I only get sawfish.

Yes, but the rostrum itself is basically a pointy nose and doesn’t necessarily have to be the “saw” look.

Should I give another hint?

Well, yes, but I can't think of an aquarium fish with a rostrum.
Another hint would be good.

[OiFisho]

Kribensis27, would you like to do the honors of the next set if clues?

 

[Kribensis27]

Kribensis27, would you like to do the honors of the next set if clues?

Yes, I just need a few minutes to think of a fish.

 

[OiFisho]

Yes, I just need a few minutes to think of a fish.

No rush

 

[Kribensis27]

Ok, here's mine.
It is a somewhat large fish, growing between 6 and around 10 inches in length. It is very deep-bodied and appears round when viewed from the side. It's a species of cichlid. They are primarily herbivorous and will devour any plants you place within the tank, but also love to eat smaller fish.

They come from South America and prefer slightly acidic water, but may adapt to pretty much any conditions. They come in a wide variety of colors and are considered peaceful towards other large fish.

Hint: if you've seen some of my posts from a few weeks ago, I mentioned that I'm planning to get one soon.

6. Prefers lower temperatures
7. Enjoys scavenging the bottom of the tank

9. Up to 12” long
