Cool May i ask why the word Cichlids have ****** in it?

From the FAQ,
Q: Why are there *'s in pleco and cichlid?

A: Years ago on the mailing list that was first used to discuss catfish over the internet, there developed a superstition that if you typed the word pleco without the *, your fish would die. It's carried on through today, where the forum is programmed to help you keep your plecos safe!

The *'s in Cichlids are simply there for humor. After all, it IS a Catfish forum!

Sorry if I'm just blond, but I still don't know what c*****ds are.

If it's wrong to put it on the forum can someone please PM me what it means.

My fish can't read so they don't worry how I write their names ;) , do what makes you happy.

Oh my gosh, thats soo cool you all live in cool places and I live in North America (Eastern US). Here we have brown bullhead catfish and I go out with boots and a net and now I have a school of babies!! The biggerones over 4in. fight so I keep them in separate large tanks.

I would like to know if anyone can identify the one catfish i caught. He was eel-like but his pelvic fin was separate. I found him in a river with swim bladder disease and he died shortly after I put him in a hospital tank.

P.S.:I'm new to the forum and thanks for your help.
