From the FAQ,
Q: Why are there *'s in pleco and cichlid?

A: Years ago on the mailing list that was first used to discuss catfish over the internet, there developed a superstition that if you typed the word pleco without the *, your fish would die. It's carried on through today, where the forum is programmed to help you keep your plecos safe!

The *'s in Cichlids are simply there for humor. After all, it IS a Catfish forum!

Also, please add your location data to your profile. It is covered in the Forum Rules.

If it's wrong to put it on the forum can someone please PM me what it means.

My fish can't read so they don't worry how I write their names ;) , do what makes you happy.

Oh my gosh, thats soo cool you all live in cool places and I live in North America (Eastern US). Here we have brown bullhead catfish and I go out with boots and a net and now I have a school of babies!! The biggerones over 4in. fight so I keep them in separate large tanks.

I would like to know if anyone can identify the one catfish i caught. He was eel-like but his pelvic fin was separate. I found him in a river with swim bladder disease and he died shortly after I put him in a hospital tank.



P.S.:I'm new to the forum and thanks for your help. :D
