Why are they called bass????

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
because they LOOK bassy. at least thats what I've been told. after all...Red Devil is a silly name when you stop and think about it.
 
Some Dumb american that keeps naming all the cichlids stuff like RT, Gt, Oscar, Keyhole,Giraffe cichlid, False Gt, False RT... Aisian Arowana, Silver Aro, Black or Blue aro.... Etc...

You know..:D It's Not american to allow something in the country without naming for ourselves :D
 
Wow wiki taught me something !! LOL

wikipedia said:
All belong to the large order Perciformes, or perch-like fishes, and in fact the word bass comes from Middle English bars, meaning "perch."[/quote]
 
We probably often give it our own name because we speak english here... and the names of pbass are Spanish and Portugese.
