Why can't anyone type the word Pleco?

[OrkyBetta]

Everyone is censoring the word PLECO. Why?

[OrkyBetta]

[WILDER]

It's only one extra letter anyway, no excuse for being typo lazy.

 

[OrkyBetta]

I have no plecos, so I have nothing to lose.

[WILDER]

that's daft, how could anyone believe that.

Its kind of like those that don't name their fish because everytime they do, the fish die. *MAM raises hand, she's one of these*

Every sport/hobby/activity comes with its own line of superstitions. Some are just for fun. Its up to you whether you believe it or not. I like to be a little superstitious now and again, keeps life interesting.

 

[Tokis-Phoenix]

I don't name alot of my fish because either
a. they are livebearers meaning that they breed like crazy and i rehome them at some point, or
b. i can't decide on a name.

Some of my fish have names; my largest common plec is called "The Plecsta" and my old gold/yelllow and black molly is called "goldy"(yes the originality of the name is awe inspiring i know ) and i have a male black and yellow platy in particular who is called "dragon brother" but thats about it. Oh and i have a black khuli loach in particular who has always had a split in his tail ever since i got him long ago called "wiggle" and an unusually large male neon tetra called "Guru neon"- he kinda leads the shoal .

 

[WILDER]

Tokis you should of typed pleco i have one, but don't believe in supertitions.

 

[Tokis-Phoenix]

I think i must be the only person here who can tell neons apart...
