Is it bad luck to name your fish???

[srikamaraja]

I do correllate naming with death or misfortune, yes.

I no longer name any fish . . . makes it less personal when they (inevitably) die . . .

True..............



Any others i want in depth background stories too............a little bit more than " I called my birchir falkor coz he's white........................."

I don't think its bad luck at all. I usually take at least a month to come up with a name that fits the fish, that is if my girlfriend doesn't name it first.

My gf told me it was bad luck, idk is it really a superstition?????

Mere coincidence. Only reason people fear naming their fish is naming fish drives their attachment towards it and think their fish died because of the name.

Most people that "breed" fish in 1 gallon bowl name their fish. Sometimes i see people naming their Bettas, but I agree with this opinion:

I've only ever named goldfish, bichir, ropefish, and plecos... basically anything that has the potential to live longer than a dog or cat.

I want to keep an American eel (Anguilla rostrata) so it can outlive me...

I name my fish Elmo, Cookie Monster, Big Bird, Oscar etc etc etc...I go by how their attitude and personality then there goes his/her name
