Correct. Your turn! The link to France -> French Connection UK is explained in the Cat-eLog page. And the feeding says that they eat algae.

I can't see any ref: to French Connection UK in the cat-e-log page?

I'm old enough to have bought fish collected by Pierre Brichard, circa 1969.

No, you dummy, not directly to FC, just to france/Pierre Brichard.

That happens to us all - the number of times I've looked for a complicated reason for my software not working, when it's RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, I don't know, but if I had 10 pounds each time, I'm sure I could afford a nice car or a new fish room or some such...

erm

hate to spoil it to you peeps, but Brichard ain't French

yes, he spoke French. and his name sounds French as well

but he's a Belgian from Wallonia, the French speaking part of Belgium

if we assume anyone speaking English on the forum is an Englisman, we err....same here! ;)

I think that might call for a "bug report" as the cat-e-log entry says "famous French ichthyologist".

New fish

It is thought that I was first discovered long ago by a brave-hearted explorer. Furthermore, I sound like a carrot.

Who am I?

My carrots aren't talking, and I've narrowed it down to way too many explorers.....

I'm a commonly available smallish catfish that would be happy if kept in a 33gal with several of my friends.

MatP:

Kryptopterus minor?

Wrong area.
Richard B:

Pareutropius buffei

Not common enough around here

but right area.

new clue:

My tank needs some special structures to keep me happy and bring out my best qualities.

Hyalobagrus flavus?

Nope, I'm not see through at all. Shadow Catfish is not right but I do like to rest in the shade...(hint about last clue)
Go back to where you found Pareutropius buffei, I'm closer to there. I'm closer to the size of your first guess.

Richard B:

Schilbe marmoratus?

Nope but right area and same 'type locality'. I had no idea so many catfish would be considered common, I must live in the sticks

Clue round-up:
I'm a commonly available smallish catfish that would be happy if kept in a 33gal with several of my friends.
I'm not a bottom dwelling fish.
My tank needs some special structures to keep me happy and bring out my best qualities.
I'm not see through at all. Shadow Catfish is not right but I do like to rest in the shade...(hint about last clue)
New clue:
There's something special about my belly, it helps me stay safe in the wild.
My family may remind a person of chocolate coffee.
