How about some long fish names? Like CAE or SAE - chinese/siamese algae eater

which i had to take twice in high school, becuase it bored me so much i didn't pass the first time! Now, i am actually concerned about how my NO2 converts to NO3...
or is it the other way around....?
just thought i'd add (since this thread was revived ) that i feel the exact same way... i passed chemistry in high school but i HATED it so much... now i am like a big science nerd with a mini experiment lab in my room!

can't think of any other abbreviations at the moment... although perhaps there could be something about people writing pl*co instead of pleco? not really an abbreviation but still baffling when you don't know...

What about MTS (multiple tank syndrome) and MFS (multiple fish syndrome)? Lots of newbies get this and would be relieved to know there's an actual name for the disease!

Excuse me? We don't all know what these things are, especially not new people or younger people who haven't had a chemistry class yet. Don't be so arrogant...no one made you read it.

Even though this is a "Sticky" it's still nice when it gets "bumped" every now and then. Not all new people go and read the "newb" stickies (Although they should). I bumbled around for over a week totally confused, till I actually read these.

Okay, I have a question. What does "meh" mean? A lot of people say that at the beginning of a sentence or in the middle. Does it stand for something?
