Way to go Cuban Jey! I found a listing for those but no picture and I could see that it wasn't the L. microlepsis. Lets see your pic.

Well Dan is offline and I know that I am right as far as the lamprey part goes and without a tooth pattern can't be absolutely sure of the species except that it looks way to bright and large mouthed to be an english brook lamprey.
I'm going to take a gamble and post the next picture, if I'm wrong we can disregard it.

Here is my chosen fish, common name and scientific name please.

Yes you were right it's a RIVER LAMPERY (Lampetra fluviatilis)

 

[guppy]

Dan D etc, I was close the river lamprey has fewer but larger teeth. I did a paper once on thevarious lampreys world wide. My favorites are the little nonparasitic brook lampreys.

[guppy]

Amia calva, the bowfin?

 

[cuban jey]

Okay, let me just say that in it's homeland this next one is very common,
I will settle for the correct common name or the scientific name, and as a hint they are not from the u.s., the u.k., or europe
