    Thought this might be a fun and useful thread. I got curious how to pronounce all of these illnesses and found a board with these and added one of my own :D :

    Some Illnesses:
    Costia = cost-ee-a
    Chilodonella = chi-low-don-ella
    Trichodina = trick-o-deen-ah
    Costia..... Ichthyobodo necatrix = ICK-Thee-oh-bow-dow NECK-ah-tricks


    Medicines:
    Potassium Permanganate = Poe-TASS-ium per-MAN-GAN-ate
    Praziquantel = PRAZ-ee-QUAN-tell
    Diflubenzuron = Die-flu-BEN-zure-on
    Metronidazole = metra-NAHD-a-zoul

    If you know some more lets keep this going.... good stuff to know so you dont mumble your way through it at the pet store or around others. You know if you dont know it you mumble through it quietly, say it really fast so nobody stops to think or even a bit of both :)
