bichirs, how does your lfs says it?

[GarNiac]

this is just for fun,
what do the call bichirs in your area? or how does the lfs pronounces them?
as many of us who keep bichirs in the forum came from different places, the lfs in your place might call bichirs with some other words that we've never heard of, and it may sounds funny n unfamiliar for us, but lets hear it anyway, it doesn't matter how it sounds/pronounces like, and it doesn't matter what language it is,
for example, in my country, they often say 'ikan naga', which mean dragon fish, and sometimes they also call them palmas.

cheers

I went to one of lfs around my area and I asked if they have any bichirs. The guy was like "We don't sell any ***** here" I cracked up hahaha!

The word bichir isnt used in icelandic, they just say polypterus, well, here it is pronounced polyterus.

The other LFS in town sold them as "dragon eels" which they obviously are not.
