Suckerfish: noun. Suckerfish is the official term newly recognised by all countries of the commonwealth and the USA, encompassing the Genuses ancistrus, beaufortia, echeneis and all other fish whose main identifying trait is the fact that they suck on things. In order to prevent confusion, the Union of Fish Integrity has put together the following dichotomous key to identify a true suckerfish.
Is the species concerned a fish?
Does this species spend most of its time glued to an object by its mouth?
Is this species whiskerless?
Does this fish appear too lazy to swim?
If you have answered yes to all of these questions, the fish you have just identified truly is a suckerfish or a Ukrainian politician.
