It's handy if you got more from the same species and want to keep records.
I have ~500 fish (not all monsters
), and ~100 species.
But I dont tend to name the smaller fish, I just keep records of their whereabouts. Date of arrival, date of parting, medicines, waterchanges etc. Fun for when I'm old, and I keep track of the bigger picture.
The bigger fish of which I keep several, its a token to respect to give them a name better than a number or description, if I wanna keep records.
Exceptions for big fish I love which are alone.
Naserian, Digit, Mickey. Mburanumwe, Stip, Streep, Kilo, Harry, Luna, Sol, Quat, Nebbuchadnezzar.
My Oscars are called: Solimojes, Maranjoon, and Yapura.
The albino male is Sanema.
My guinea pig is Koei, and my cat is Merlijn.

I love naming my fish it makes me feel like a child and strengthens the bond.
