These fish are actually members of the cichlid family.  More specifically,
they are called Geophagus altifrons.  I'd give a common name, but they have
none.  Of course, these are not to be confused with some of my other
favorite fish, such as Monocirrhus polyacanthus, Satanoperca leucosticta
(who the natives believe are the fish of the devil....I just think they look
cool...crazy natives), and who can forget Microlepidogaster leucofrenata
(ok, so the last one I just tried to find a long name).

I was trying to think of a clever reply such as yours, but I think you
sole...I mean stole all the good ones.
These aren't walking catfish either, or that would solve the problem as well
(albeit rather slowly).
