[abbyn]

I named my first two bettas, but considering I'm no good at coming up with names in the first place I just don't even try.

I tried to name my fish when I first started but I'm no good at coming up with names.

My daughter & I named the fish in her new 8G innovative marine nano freshwater tank:
- Red wagtail platy: Jason Thunderberker
- Koi platy: Lilian Gish the Fish
- Gold wagtail platy: Sylvia Platy
- Phantom tetra: Cleopatra
- Phantom tetra: Starflash
- Starlight BN catfish: Spotsworth (aka Captain Starlight)

We had a "golden sucker" CAE originally called Squeegee, who was renamed "Death Fish Five" after he charged Slyvia Platy and left her with bites out of her top fin and tail. Took the evil DFF back to the LFS and came home with our lovely little BN catfish instead.

My daughters named their minnows Flicky, Floaty, Rosemary, Rosemary (we can't tell them apart, so they get one name), Dragon and Bob. Bob used to be "Bob the Jerkfish" until the addition of Dragon to the tank put an end to his bullying.

I dont really name my fish because i can never tell them apart but i did name my pleco creeper because when i had my algae problem he'd come sailing out of nowhere and stick to the glass right infront of my face and scare me hence the name haha

I had named for my pleco and rainbiw shark. Now with 10 black skirt tetras and 20 neon tetras I cant keep them all straight.

We are on our fourth week of cycling with three platties. I wanted Wacko, Yacko and Dot, but I think my son is choosing Dora, Diego and Boots.

Theres a story behind every name and I can tell them, it can keep me rambling for hours

 

[absolutangel04]

I name mine. I can't help it. I have been doing this for years, but I still name them.

 

[Stacey W.]

I only name when I've had them a while but my Keyhole Cichlid name is Guido.

Late to this thread, but cute topic.

We name our fish, we have a five year old - like its not going to happen!

We had guppies and they all had names (RIP fishies). We have one guppy left: Stuart. She is a female guppy but my little girl is into Minions at the moment. Bob died today; she was also a girl. She gave us 10 surviving fry. Not naming them til their colours come through though (and if they survive, currently 3 weeks old).

We also have four pygmy corydoras that have outlived all the guppies, and were part of the first purchase of stock. The Fab Four, otherwise known as Corey (Feldman), Cory (Haim), Dora and Dora. I think one is definitely a girl.

Now we have four platys: Mickey (Mouse) and his girlfriends Dots, Cheetah and Goldie.

Hope they live longer than the guppies!

My GBR Steven is my pride and joy with the puffers Sharon and Richard being the runner ups! I never named my cory's just because they all looked the same. Same with shrimp.

 

[nerdelish]

Though I can't tell all of them apart I do have names for all of them.

Two schools of fish, the law school and the religious school.
I named my 9 Harlequin Rasboras after members of the Supreme Court. 7 Cardinal Tetras are named after the 7 deadly sins (I call them the seven deadly FINS ).

Male guppy: Ru Paul

Purple Mystery Snail: Prince

White Mystery Snail: Gandalf

My cheesy sense of humor and nerdiness get the better of me when I name fish.

 

[HausMaus]

Ru Paul, so apt! lol
