pl*co

[Andy16]

Ok, i know its not that important, but wtf do people put he little star thing in when they spell pleco? Its been bothering me for 2 years now and i must put an end to it

Ancient (in web terms) myth, that if you type out pleco or plecostomus, that your suckermouth catfish or Loricariid will die. This is especially mad, as Plecostomus is no longer a valid genus name (now Hypostomus), and may not be a valid species name either.

In any case, just how is the fish, the demons, the fates or whatever the agent of destruction is supposed to be ever know what you have written, or what the currently valid names might be?

I think it is such a stupid thing. I wonder who started it and why because a lot of people believe it.

 

[RTR]

Who started it is not a big deal, the fact that so many folk believe it is scary.

And sadly it has spread to other types of fish as well.

I beleive ive typed out the word "pleco" over 10 times already, that things probably the healthiest fish in my tank.

 

[Andy16]

someone should start a thread in GCC where every1 typed "pleco" as many times as possible to drive out the pleco demons!!!!

I don't think people do it because they believe (well, I'm sure some do) it, they do it for fun
