So how many of you name your fish? What are some good names?
I had 2 Ocellaris clowns (30g, FOWLR, lots of bristleworms), and one night my girlfriend convinced me to name them. So I named them after this terrible fish song, Brian and Robert. Robert(a) was the girl, since she was the bigger of the two in the pair. Anyway, Brian died THE NEXT DAY and I am convinced it was because we named them (or, because I was in Europe for 4 weeks and didn't change the water in maybe 2 months).
Anyway, after a while monitoring my tank and thinking it was stable, I got another clown to be a friend for Robert and also got a Royal Gramma Basslet. My girlfriend named the clown Tipsy (which was great because of how he swam) and the basslet was named Scuba. Classic names. Unfortunately, both died within a few weeks. :?
So after about 6 months and lots of water changes (nitrates were high), I've gotten another clown. He's been around for at least a month now, so I have good hope for him to survive. His name is Dingy.
What about some other fish names??
