Nice.

I do have one complaint though. How hard is it to type pearl gourmai?

Huh?

What do you mean? Do you mean how to sex them?

You listed their scientific name.

 

[Crispii]

You listed their scientific name.

Yeah, so?

 

[JuiceBox52]

You listed their scientific name.

It makes him sound cooler and more impressive

 

[Crispii]

It makes him sound cooler and more impressive

And less confusing. Common names can be confusing/deceiving.

So that's all i have to do! lol

I agree to a point but for really common fish that only have one commonly used name than I'd say that it is better to use that.

A lot of animals/plants have many different common names, not just one.

Pearl gouramis are sometimes called lace gouramis, for example.

Sometimes the scientific names just sound way better. I tend to do that with my cories and pangio loaches, mostly because many have multiple common names and theres also many unnamed species... so just makes life easier.

Example: pangio oblonga
Common names: black kuhli loach, java loach, cinnamon loach, brown hagfish if you are Crispii. Some even call them "coolies" which i find annoyingly obnoxious.

But theres a few other pangio loaches that use "cinnamon loach" as well... so if i called them that, what ones am i talking about?

Sometimes going by the scientific name just clears it all up to which fish someone is taking about.

I thought I was the only one who gets annoyed by "coolies" lol

 

[Crispii]

I thought I was the only one who gets annoyed by "coolies" lol

And I'm the only one who calls Pangio oblonga, "hagfish loach."

 

[JuiceBox52]

And I'm the only one who calls Pangio oblonga, "hagfish loach."

(Except for the fact that I think it's funny and will start calling it that now)

I agree to a point. But every one know what a pearl gourmai is right? Anyway, I'll shut up now.

There is a good reason there.
Coolie and kuhli are both pronounced so similarly that there isnt a difference (unless you are spelling it....)
And then there's always an exception for crispii - like all thigs.

 

[Lajos_Detari]

Or Crispy becomes Crispii...

Caused it tastes good.... LOL

Just kidding...
