Lol, I did type that first part as two three letter parts, but it posted three asterisks instead of the second part... apparently that type of wild donkey is a rude word

I have heard from various fish magazines that the correct way is be-tuh, not bayda

Yes, the 'bet' to rhyme with wet.

 

[KimAnnKitz]

Oh gosh! Already learned something. Have been saying bay-da instead of bed-a for years (betta). That will be a hard one to correct and everyone will probably think I'm wrong!

I'm not sure, but I've heard both and think the pronunciation varries by local. North vs South vs Midwest.

I lost the link, but there is a fun online pronunciation test that will pin point your exact city. I'll edit and add the link if I can find it.

Found it:

My results were spot on. It gave my exact city.

 

[Fishfanboy]

Or something else.

Most people just say Fusco Cichlid anyway.
