Thanks, Curt for the great link. I'm actually surprised that since I was given multiple choice I was able to come up with an alright score. WooHoo! My college education IS paying off

Dennis7 · 11-30-2003, 02:23 PM

That took me back to school.

I aced the quizz!!!

However, my first interest in SW fish was Atlantic species. I used to collect them, then bought numerous books on how to identify.
One of the best identification books is Reef Fish Identification by Paul Humann.

I reviewed the quizes and know less than 20%. Didn't have the self image to take them.

Spooda420 · 11-30-2003, 04:19 PM

I got a 50%.... not to bad since I guessed on 100%.

Travis · 11-30-2003, 04:29 PM

You got 6 correct out of 10.
Your score is 60 %

reefrunner · 11-30-2003, 05:01 PM

I got 90%...but I got a problem with answers that are common names, makes it both easier and harder at the same time.

did well on angela and tangs, poor on everythign else esp butterflies

DaveK · 12-07-2003, 08:34 AM

My big objection to the quiz is that it doesn't list the scientific names of the fish along with the common name.

For example I've often seen Chateoden striatus listed as a banded butterfly or a striped butterfly, and Chaetodon lunula usually listed as a racoon butterfly, has about 4 common names I can recall offhand.
