PLEH-koh is how I pronounce it.

 

I pronounce it SU-Ker-Fish lol. I've heard both ways and don't really think one is right or wrong. That being said I'm a PLEH-koh guy like John...

 

I guess it all depends on how you pronounce Plecostomus. I agree with you its called Pl(eh)co. People who say pl(ee)co must call it a PLEEcostomus. LOL

Here is another example I found on the online dictionary: They are often referred to as Plecostomus, often abbreviated as Plecos or PLECS

The word Plecs said by someone who pronounces it as Pleecos would say PLEEKS I guess. Sounds a little strange to me

 

My way is "Plec"-"co", sounds good to me.

 

Rhymes with gecko and deco (as in Art Deco).

 

Coming from Ireland I've always pronounced it Play-co.

 

Based on the rules of Latin, "Plek oss toe mus". Hope that helps clear it up.

 

yeah, i always find it a little off-putting when someone calls them pleecos.... not really sure why it bothers me...lol

 

"pleecos" sounds like they're trying to hard
but i do like the irish pronunciation from Adams
