'Punk' Catfish Among New Species Found in Venezuela

CARACAS, Venezuela (Reuters) - Scientists studying an unspoiled jungle river wilderness in Venezuela on Thursday announced the discovery of 10 new fish species, including a red-tailed tiddler, a "punk" catfish with a spiky head and a piranha that eats fruit as well as flesh.

Other species discovered include a "goth" gecko, "jock" beetle, and "preppie" salamander.

:D
 
A parana that eats fruit?

Sounds a lot like a very common manhole-cover sized amazon fish to me...

Pacu Pacu Pacu

Right, a Pacu. It's a bloody huge member of the parana family that eats fruit. Sorta like a manhole swimming sideways that can eat an entire head of lettuce in 10 seconds.

Paranas are just huge, hungry tetras, you realize, yes?

Got ya....
 
But I thought 'Parana' was a river and 'piranha' was a fish!

Poor stupid Lucy.
