I consider my fish with personalities pets and the ones without are just collections of pretty things that swim around aimlessly waiting for their next meal.
Are they pets or collections ?

my fish are part pet (subjected to my emotional interest in their well-being), part toy (subjected to my personal whims *ie: potentially unsafe animal feedings*, which may not be in their best interest). I imagine that every pet I keep will be regarded in this manner.
i name them all
but i only call the stant out fish by there names
my alligators have names and so does my sh.
my frt's have names. and my 2 ultra ultra paster red ears have names.
my bigger snapping turtles have names.
my gtp has a name.
my dog has a name.
its kinda of weird
like my alligators are part of my family.

I name the ones that last, giving names to guppies and swordtails is counterproductive. Its just harder to drop them in the big tank.
i call them all food for something somewhere. i collect my fish. but they are still pets till they get ate or passed on to anothher hobbyist.
i also say both, prized collections because their something you could be proud of so you display them and pets because you care for their well being on a side note my ornate poly is godzilla,my pulcher is dexter, and my mbu puffer is e.t.,my two aros silver and jardini are double dragons
I agree with saying both. They are pets in that they are live animals that you care for, but they are also like live artwork. A fishtank really makes a room look impressive. Especially a nicely done larger tank. It just really sets off a room.
