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 ?

[poppab02]

Acei = ay sigh

[Fishyfanatic]

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?

[TankGirl]

ah-poh-no-JEE-tun

and I say A-see-eye, with three syllables and not two.
