Selected
a species of tetra, the firewood catfish and the kumakuma
From the information given plus the site below it appears that these fish, in English, are matrinxa=a species of tetra fish with only a scientific name, no common name, surubim=firewood catfish and piratinga=kumakuma. Somewhat unusual or obscure information, to say the least. HTH.

Não creio que tenha percebido aquilo que eu disse na primeira frase da minha resposta. Será devido ao "Basic reading knowledge of Portuguese" indicado no seu perfil?
