OK I was wondering how to pronounce the piranha names, I looked in our excellent information section and found the finetical spellings, so I tried them out, a little tricky, but here is how I did:

Some of the pronounciations are off. No time tonight to correct. Going to bed, maybe tomorrow. Will say for now; spilopleura is pron. SPY LOW PLOO RAH not SPEE LOW PLOO RAH. One of the pron. sounded like "GEMINI" wasn't clear enough on reply to decipher.

Whoa, you sound like Ozzy a little lol.

I think the pronounciation problems are because of the wrong pronounciations being posted in the information section of this website. Piranha species You can see here that they are pronounced wrong.

They should be:

Nat-err-eye

Pier-ray-uh

Al-too-vey

Eye-gehn-mahn-ee

Gerr-ee-eye

Spy-low-plur-uh

The rest seem to be ok.
