I think it would be nice for those of us interested in our hobby to be able to pronounce the scientific names of our fish correctly.
I am going to start looking around the net for some info I have found some already.
Perhaps at a later stage we can develop a single post too simplify our findings.
Or perhaps even a list of the popular species in alphabetical order with
the correct spelling and the phonetic spelling on the right.
An example being Corydoras-Caw re door us
( just an example )
Here is a better example : Note the ae ending in animal and plant family names: Canidae, the dog family, is pronounced "canidee," not "caniday."
Here are some links

That's it for now
