What is the hawaiian name for gupppies?
Pakalolo ;)
Reply:Guppies aren't naturally found in Hawaiian waters, so there is no Hawaiian word for Guppy.





Here's a portion from an article from the University of Hawaii, Hilo:





The five native freshwater fish of Hawai'i are referred to as `o'opu in Hawaiian. Scientifically, they are actually two distinct families. The family Gobiidae includes four species of `0 `opu, the nakea (Awaous guamensis), naniha (Stenogobius hawaiiensis), nopili (Sicyopterus stimpsoni), and `alamo'o (Lentipes con color). The `o'opu `akupa (Eleotris sandwicensis) is in the Eleotridae family. About 30 percent of Hawaiian fish are unique to the islands. The isolation of Hawai`i encourages endemism. Species populations are small, localized and easily affected by genetic changes. Favorable mutations establish quickly in a population. An organism adapts to its environment and in time can evolve characteristics distinct from its ancestors (Hoover 1993). Endemic to Hawai'i are the `o'opu `alamo'o (L. concolor), `o'opu nopili (S. stimpsoni), and `o'opu `akupa (E. sandiwicensis). Indigenous to Hawai'i are the `0 `opu nakea (A. guamensis). Nakea is found elsewhere around the Pacific Region. No information was found regarding endemism and `0 `opu naniha (S. hawaiiensis) (Yamamoto and Tagawa 2000).
