Everyone seems to have their own version. I googled it and found nothing.
 
Jag, rhymes with :) bag.

I've always pronounced it MAN-a-GWENCE but not sure if that's right.
 
i have this problem with tons of fish. i read about them all day, and then when i try to have conversation with people about them, i feel like i don't know the language :)
 
I've always said mana-gwen-ese.
 
mahn-ah-gueh-n-seh

Same here. Now how do you pronounce bichir? Or is it pronounced that people think you're cursing at them, lol?

"However the correct English pronunciation is up for grabs. Several dictionaries all have their own pronunciation including the below:
bee cher
beech er
bikir
biker
bercheer
bi cher
bir chir is common in England" from http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65770

on topic: i say man a goon eese :confused:
 
jcardona is right. In Spanish e is pronouced eh, the name is based on the capital of Nicaraqua and its Lake Managua.
bicher is pronounced Biker (like a Harley)

man im sorry but if i heard somebody say that at a fish store i would die laughing :ROFL: if that "eese" like "esse" like dem LA gangstas???? :ROFL:

;) there are some fish names that i wont even try to say!
 
I pronounce it, man a gwen see
the propper spelling for the Jag is MANAGUENSIS
I noticed, like 90% of everyone else
here in the board you misspell it as Managuense.

Everyone has their own way of doing it though,
so it is no big deal.
