In the shadow of death.....
I just wanted to see if anyone else is in the habit of giving their favorite fish nick names and what reason you call them that. I know that Lowcel does this too, with Lucy.
My fish are Red oscar:Silvio aka Silvio Dante from the Sopranoes, even though i'm now sure its a girl. Silvia?????........
And our Tiger Oscar:Tigga aka well you know.....
Let see all these eccentric names for your fish and their backgrounds!!!
 
My GF has me calling my bass pretty girl now. Well I used to call her princess but thats besides the point...

It better not be bad luck.
 
Why would it be bad luck?

Some of my fish have names, some don't. If a whole bunch look the same then I don't name them lol!
Bettas - Pigeon and Mr. Majestic
Eartheater - Charlie
Jack Dempsey - Poe
Featherfin Syno - Hubert
L200 - Red (cause he's not, he's green)
Clown Loach - Boris (only one has a name so far)
Bala sharks - Fric and Frac
Green Severum - Hercules (cause he is the biggest fry by far)
 
not bad luck, just sucks more when they die cuz the cool name dies too
