I hate naming fish. I cannot do it. I think it is stupid. I had a girl name my fish once, I do not call them those names however. She named my STUD GT "RAINBOW" I mean come on. My fish will remain nameless for now and I do not foresee them getting names anytime in the distant future either.

Well just be a stick in the mud then! :p

My original forum name was lost so this is a new one. I read this post and had to reply with my fish names.

First must explain to you how my fish were named. While in college my roommate and I had guests of our apartment name my fish. Neither he nor myself created any of these names. They go like this:

Julius - Jack Dempsey
Muhammad - Green terror (Gold Saum)
Asian Sam - Texas Cichlid
Pink Panther - Pink tailed Chalceus
Common Pleco - Big Black
