Do you name your poly's?

[DMD123]

Yeah Im into my fish and they do get named. Sometimes it takes a while of watching to get the right one but eventually they all get named.

So here are my bichir and names and why they got named that way

Weeksii - Nessie, due to her elusive nature it literally is like the Loch Ness monster sighting at times.
Teugelsi - Tweedle, due to the tweed like pattern on her body
Endli - Croc, lets face it this guy is a brute. It reminds me of a croc picking up food off the ground when it eats.
Koliba lap. - No name yet... Raptor? Leviathan?

So do you name your poly's? If so, why/how did they get their names?

I don't name any of my fish, I prefer to have one of the species I desire, and I call it by its species name, or common trade name.

I personally don't, but I will look at my endli and say it reminds me of a stegosaurus when her fins are erect lol. Imo naming your fish is fine their pets.

So Steggy it is. Yep they are pets so naming them is completely normal... or is it?

You will always have your critics, but imo if a fish is smart enough to recognize who feeds it perfectly normal to name them.

I like Dracula for the albino. I had a Rex for a weekend... Koliba who jumped, so no Rex this time around.

Nice to see another poly owner who names their fish.

Mine have no names. But my oldest son calls them by number like.....fish #1, fish#2, etc. Those names have stuck for almost a year now lol.
