I personaly think it's where you are and what other people think it is
 
hikari= Hi-kar-ee

Mbuna=Ma-boo-na (with the M being said quick so no one realizes how stupidly i say it)

Bichir= Bi-ch-er

i wanna know how to correctly pronounce polypterus...i've heard "poly-p-terus", po-lypi-terus, and pol-ipterus...anyone know(not think they know) but know how to say it correctly?
 
I have always known Bichir to be pronounced " burcher", mbuna to be "emboona", mind you, I am from the UK, lol
 
I call Hikari "Hick-ar-eee"

Bichir is "Bish-ear" b/c that is how I first heard it pronounce, and 'Biker' sounds dumb ;)
 
mbuna- mmm-bu-nah or muh-bu-nah

hikari- hick-are-ee

bichir- bish-ear
 
i used to call cichlids "chill-ids"
