File:Nez.de.nuit.jpg

Hello Haplochromis,
About File:Nez.de.nuit.jpg, you said here that it was a Macroscelididae (in the order Macroscelidea).
But the fr:Rhinogrades text says that Rhinogrades is a fictive animal.
Could you help me solve this (Looks like a joke ;-))?
Best regards Liné1 (talk) 13:00, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Look here:

Aphanopus

Hello Haplochromis, are you sure this fish is an Aphanopus? It doesn't look at all like one. Look at Category:Aphanopus carbo, they are very,very different than this one. They are long, serpent-like fish with big teeth and big eyes who live at more than 1000 meters deep in the ocean, nothing like this specimen.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 04:02, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Im not sure, but i think this is a Cutlassfish (Trichiuridae), therefore i change the Category.--Haplochromis (talk) 11:30, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

If you say it's a Trichiuridae, and as it is being sold in our fish marked, then it probably is a Lepidopus caudatus, the white (and less valuable) version of Aphanopus carbo. What do you think? -- Darwin ^Ahoy! 22:56, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Hallo all, They're not Trichiuridae at all but probably Scombridae, maybe Acanthocybium solandri. --Etrusko25 (talk) 00:32, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

I agree, it's much more like a tuna than an Aphanopus. Acanthocybium solandri seems to be somewhat rare here, I was wondering if this could be "voador" ("flying tuna"), which was my first suspect, though it seems somewhat small to be that.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 23:48, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Hallo, ich bin gerade über das Foto gestolpert. Ich schließe eben einen Artikel über Ctenophora festivaab. Die ist es sicher nicht, aber ich bin dabei auf einen sehr guten Bestimmungsschlüssel gesstoßen, der hilft vermutlich weiter: P. Oosterbroek, R. Bygebjerg, T.

not Doryichthys boaja?

Hi Haplochromis,

Are you sure that this fish is not a Doryichthys boaja? File:Hal - Doryichthys boaja - kew 1.jpg What else can it be? Perhaps Aeoliscus strigatus? Regards. DenesFeri (talk) 10:11, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Yes its Aeoliscus strigatus.--Haplochromis (talk) 12:55, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Pterois andover, category and images

Hi, are you sure that the 2 photos I classified in this category

• 
• 

aren't Pterois andover? Have you a source? Because I recognized this specie in this source and this for a general view of Pterois species (and for a comparison). Let me know, Ciao :) --Marrabbio2 (talk) 21:30, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

My source is: G. R. Allen & Erdmann: (23 January 2008). "Pterois andover, a new species of scorpionfish (Pisces: Scorpaenidae) from Indonesia and Papua New Guinea". aqua, International Journal of Ichthyology 13 (3-4): 137.

particularly the photos on Page 133 in this paper. Regards, ;),--Haplochromis (talk) 06:13, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

Very interesting, thanks. I saw the difference on the dorsal fin, especially. Thanks for your explanation. Ciao :) --Marrabbio2 (talk) 12:02, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

Flamingos

Hi Haplochromis - thought I'd best let you know, File:Phoenicopterus chilensis -Tavares, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil -flying-8.jpg that you'd reidentified as Phoenicopterus ruber, are definitely Phoenicopterus chilensis as originally identified - note the bill pattern, and the grey lower legs with red feet and ankle joint, both characteristic of P. chilensis. So evidently, P. chilensis does occur in southern Brazil :-) (which P. ruber doesn't, except rarely in the far north!). Hope this helps! - MPF (talk) 23:22, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

About the fish

Hi,

Could this File:Hal - Aulonocara baenschi 1.jpg be Category:Neolamprologus brichardi? Regards. DenesFeri (talk) 08:33, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

It is Category:Neolamprologus pulcher because Neolamprologus brichardi is a synonym to Neolamprologus pulcher.

• Nina Duftner, Kristina M. Sefc, Stephan Koblmüller, Walter Salzburger, Michael Taborsky, Christian Sturmbauer: Parallel evolution of facial stripe patterns in the Neolamprologus brichardi/pulcher species complex endemic to Lake Tanganyika. Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 45 (2007) 706–715

Regards,--Haplochromis (talk) 08:38, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

So, you don't really know? On base of this two Neolamprologus brichardi (Poll, 1974) FishBase and Neolamprologus pulcher (Trewavas & Poll, 1952) FishBase I vote for N. brichardi. The aquarium was quite small. DenesFeri (talk) 09:18, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Neolamprologus brichardi and Neolamprologus pulcher are the same fish, the valid name ist Neolamprologus pulcher.--Haplochromis (talk) 09:47, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

OHH! Thank you! Sorry I didn't understand it for the first time. :) Cheers. DenesFeri (talk) 10:36, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

One more think: If the 2 names belong to the same fish, than why FishBase treats them as 2 separated species? And ich one has its own synonyms. DenesFeri (talk) 15:23, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Fishbase is not always up to date, in the Catalog of Fishes, witch makes an update every Month, you can see that Neolamprologus brichardi ist synonym to Neolamprologus pulcher. --Haplochromis (talk) 15:27, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

OK; Thank you again! DenesFeri (talk) 08:54, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

Fish images

Hello! You have uploaded several images by Klaus Rudloff from BioLib.cz (e.g. File:Champsochromis caeruleus2.jpg, File:Aulonocara nyassae A.jpg, File:Anomalochromis thomasi B.jpg), but the original sources (i.e. [1], [2], [3]) all seem to state "Copyright - All rights reserved. The resized photographs can be freely used on any pages for non commercial, scientific and educational purposes, if you let me know about it first." This non-commercial restriction seems to be incompatible with COM:Licensing. Secondly, while User:Achim Raschka/Vorlage Klaus Rudloff gives a different license, it is currently unclear whether this template is legitimate: Unless Achim Raschka is a legal representative or copyright holder of Klaus Rudloff's works, they cannot determine Rudloff's license (and I have no idea why it mentions "Raimond Spekking"). I realize you are not the creator of this custom license template, but unless evidence can be found that Rudloff published his works with a free license allowing any use (including commercial), the images may be deleted. Cheers, --Animalparty (talk) 21:13, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:The zoology of the voyage of H.M.S. Beagle (Fish. Pl. 18) BHL14063620 Acanthoclinus2.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.

File:Aetomylaeus bovinus 343471182.jpg

Hi Haplochromis :-), my idea was to add this file to the Aetomylaeus bovinus page I am creating on the French Wikipédia but I think this picture will be really better after a treatment on White Balance. I did it on my computer and colors look like more natural, currently there is a greenish tone. I can't input a new version, maybe you can do it... or accept I add a new file with another name.
