Who names their fish?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I name some of my fish. My male motoro stingray is stevie ray, after stevie ray vaughn(I know hfg, I stole the name idea from you. sorry!), the female motoro is gilby after gilby clarke because the other stingray is named after a guitarist.

My super red severum is senor severum. I know very original!

My ID shark is blackie.

My 2 biggest clown loaches are wally and beatle juice.

My 3 golden sharks are the 3 stooges.

And the tinfoil barb shoal are "the vacuum"
 
My Old 12" Tiger Oscar was named Jud IDK why... Big black fish that just chills...JUD lol

My Arowana is names Pacino :D (The mouth)

And my bigger Aro is named Cheif... It's like he watches over the tank
 
Since the LFS I went to didn't have what I wanted last time, I've only got 9 feeders that have been cycling the damn tank for 4 weeks. Larger female was named Queenie b/c she was about to pop out fry when I got her. Largest male is named Koi Mutt b/c it's got crazy color that I've never seen in a feeder platy before. Speckles with a total blue body but a bright orange dorasal fin.
 
Just don't name your Oscar Oscar or your Puffer Puffy :)

thats exactly what my husband would do if it was up to him

only reason i would name a fish is becuase it has a particular personality or maye physical trait that deserves a name. Like an extremely aggressive fish would probably be deamon or jaws or killer or something like that. or maybe we have a fish an odd spot or something it would be called spot. All our rosy barbs are named fasty by my daughter..becuase they are fast. and OBVIOUSLY our clown fish yes....nemo.

I also got a new flowerhorn baby which my daughter name spongebob.
 
My fish tend to get named some ridiculous things in my house by my roomates mainly.
Clown Loach: Loachramin Ultra
Paint turtle: Chumpstyle
Emporer Scorpion: Dwayne (dwayne johnson, aka the rock, aka the scorpion king.)
Green Sunfish: Billy (the badass)
Smaller green sunfishes: Billies
Bullhead: Heater (becuase he sits right next to one and imitates it)
Eupterus Catfish: Grendel (becuase he is freaking retarded)
ETC..
