Anagram game

[tjudy]

This has been fun on a couple other forums. I will post the scientific name of a dwarf cichlid in an anagram. You try to figure out what it is. Each incorrect guess will earn a hint.

Here is the first:

CROATIA'S MAFIA PRAGMATIST (hyphen is not in fish's name)

 

[Moi_Eater]

CROATIA'S MAFIA PRAGMATIST = Apistogramma trifasciata

my wife will dust anybody doing these games. she solves the new york times crossword puzzle all the time, one clue at a time from top to bottom. you put a prize in there, and i'll (she'll) win every one. watch out for 'the ringer'.

ACADIA BROTHER GLIMMER

 

[Moi_Eater]

ACADIA BROTHER GLIMMER = TELEOGRAMMA BRICHARDI

 

[aspen]

oh yea, the latin fish names... she may not get these, she can hardly remember the 'red guys' (a. cacatoides) or the silver guys (silver hatchets)

i think interest may have something to do with it.

You are too good at it. OK.. here is one that I literally pulled out of a textbook. I have never seen this fish.. nor heard of it even. GOOD LUCK! If you get this one as fast as you have gotten the others, I will have to bow to your most superior anagramming abilities.
