That's what you get for that private school education.... j/k
I've always heard "biker," but also also "one of those long dinosaur lookin fish" isn't uncommon in the stores...
Polly-tare-us if you really want to get it across
My wife started naming all my bichirs after types of bikes... I can't keep em straight. I'll stick to naming on furry creatures that won't end up on a plate.
I don't know where I got it from. I guess I never saw it written anywhere, but I grew up saying Birchir.
And an "R"...... hey, why not?

There are a lot of right answers, however, Bir-Chir is wrong, there's only one R! I say Biker, although I know the correct way is Bee_sheer asd it's french.
On the Polypterus side, I say Poll-Ip-Terus, that's wrong but that how it's said here, I've heard the second P is silent like pterodactyl, or the P is silent as in swimming......eh? .....eh?

I'd rather avoid the whole pollip thing........ sounds too much like cave issues.
I don't plan on ever getting one, just thought the name was a bit odd. Call them snakey things or poor attempts at water snakes.

bur-sheer is what i usually hear, however i prefer birchir idk where the extra R came from, either way most ppl know what your talking about.
