always thought it was chill-lids but now know its pronounced sick-lids

gourami was the one i tend to get wrong when i started out keeping fish, point at the tank and say. I will have x of thoses please lol

 

[hollanda88]

I pronounce it "Better" however there are proper scientific names for fish, if we used them them, then this would not crop up

LMAO too bad that Betta splendens is the latin name for them lol

[kewskills]

So I'm a bit stupid

 

[paulbr1]

Beater (of other fish) ha ha........but not that funny really!

 

[stang1]

I've always pronounced it "better".

 

[JustKia]

Surely it is "Better" because of the double "t" - to be "Beater" it would have to have a single "t" in the middle instead.

 

[wackystarfish]

Tomayto, tomato.... Hahahaha
For the record, i say b-e-t-t-e-r, which is i presume right?? I guess theat would be the way the romans said it, and they spoke Latin

 

[tropic_john]

Its better. The americans don't fully say the 'tt' in betta but trust, its b-e-t-t-e-r not b-e-t-a [letter] And gourami is gu-ra-me. gu as in lowercase g

 

[jasminekiddell]

I just say it as 'betta' i cant prounaounce it as bayta, im too used to 'betta'.

 

[Forestpisces]

Be-tta (not bayta)

If it were to be said bayta then it would be spelled beta or bayta.

Not betta as it is.
