I don't name my fish...but I know you do!

[Gregcoyote]

I've got 1 Dwarf Gourami, 2 Red Platies, 3 Peppered Cory Cats, and 6 Dwarf Spotted Danios.

Which ever one you're looking at, focussing on, or talking to is named Larry. All the rest are named Eric.

Eric the fish. I think that was a Monty Python sketch.

Bob the fish (wrasse)
Bobby the clown (saddleback)
Bobies the anemones (both of them)
Bobbins (the female clown)
Stinky Bob (skunk Clown)
Bob the Builder (engineer goby)
Bob-bees Trinity (the three starfish)
Bobalicious the sea urchin
All the crabs/lobsters are called Bobkins

I collectively call them The Bobs
I cannot help myself to not call any new fish some sort of variation of Bob. Not sure why. Its fun to find a new Bob name. My next fish (yellow tang) will be named "Bobang"
My puffer tank had fish all called variations of "Chompy".

Betta fish- Waffle
My two red wag platies- Abigail and Thing Three
My two blue Mickey mouse platies- Rory Pond and Amy Pond

I've had tons of other fish with names. I had a gorgeous red crowntail named Dragon and a pink and red double-tailed betta named Sayir, who were both sold. I had another fun betta named Martin who recently passed away. I used two have two other red wag platies called Thing One and Thing Two that got killed by a co2 mistake (hence the name Thing Three). Naming fish is fun for me! It allows me to get attached to my fish, and feeling attached to fish is one of the reasons I love being in this hobby.

And of course Shrimpy the red fire shrimp.

Haha!! You named a fish (2, actually)!!!!! I think you were wanting to name a fish all along and used this thread to troll for ideas!! Lol

And, no, I have no idea of the reference, but still cool that you named them!

It's a fair cop. But I have had a blast reading these names. Getting near 100 posts.
Beanie and Cecil the sea sick sea serpent was one of my favorite tv shows.
