I am an expert.

and to be honest, there is no wrong way to pronounce any common name.

Common names are a plague to the fish society,

Well, today at the lfs i asked the lady for otto cats, cause it's easier to say than Otocinclus

which i am not so ashamed to say I have a hard time pronouncing, I turned to get a filter and she netted me 3 GOLDFISH!?! WTF so I tried saying Otocinclus, but since I didnt have the name there to read I was saying Otto-kikus or something around that.

Hmm I've always wondered about cichlids, how do you pronounce it? i call em SICH-LIDS my friend calls them SISS-LIDS.

That makes me feel better.
I always said Bi-sher.
Then Chung Li said Biker.
I never liked Biker.
It just didn't fit the little guys.
