Ha, great thread. I've read so much about fish, but because I haven't really talked about them too much, so I have no idea how to pronounce half of the ones I'm interested in.
Malawi? (Malaw-E or Malaw-I ? I've heard both before...) Tanganyika? Acei? Is Badis Badis pronounced "Badi Badi" ? BOTia or BOtia ? |

Acei is pronounced ay sigh? The guy at the [acronym:7735b46f78="Local Fish Store"]lfs[/acronym:7735b46f78] pronounced it A-see-eye. Or is that the same thing?

Thanks TG. I am calling the [acronym:d0a483f03d="Local Fish Store"]lfs[/acronym:d0a483f03d] to order a couple for our 150 and I didn't want to sound like an idiot or have to spell it out to the guy.

Don't worry, FF, half the time the [acronym:ce53aee42d="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:ce53aee42d] folks don't know how to pronounce it either, so they'll be very impressed with you.

hahaha...this is such a good thread....id like to add something eventhough is not related to pronunciation but it kinda belongs here....
bacterIUM= 1 ( yeah...just one single organism) bacterIA = more than one the rest of the thread i just dont know since english is not my first language...maybe thats why the guy at the [acronym:9f28f9fc52="Local Fish Store"]lfs[/acronym:9f28f9fc52] is always staring at me (looking kinda confused) and then after a few seconds i get the usual: "sorry dear...what is it that u want again?" haha...
