I can't be the only one that names their fish... I'm a creature lover, so it would feel wrong for me to not name mine! Do you name your fish? Post a picture of your fishy crew and their names! Here's my crew:

Harry and Sally, the clowns.
Franklin, the Firefish.
And last but certainly not least is Gobert, the stank-faced watchman goby.

Let's see yours!

My clowns are Koa and Kalina! All the other fish don’t have names yet (I’m really bad at naming).

Names are fun but if the fish start talking to you then you might need an intervention.
Wait... Your fish don't talk to you? That's lame.
 
I thought everyone did. My wife named them
Azure Damsel is Sheldon
Bicolor Blenny 50/50 lol

They did once when I went wild mushroom hunting and didn't know what I was doing :thinking-face::face-with-hand-over-mouth:

I have several more but figured this was a good start. Bonus points if you can figure out why some are named what we named them!
 
Some get names others are usually called by their trade name, "sixline wrasse" or "lawnmower blenny".

According to my children all of my four clownfish are named "Clownder and Claflownder"

Naso: Gemma
Unicorn: Chica
Bristletooth: Blue
Sohal: Stranger

I call the filefish, well you get the idea LOL.
 
As mentioned in an earlier thread, the 2 year old named the royal gramma “Blue”…..idk, he’s 2. The older grandkids named the firefish “dart” (quite on the nose) the court jesters are FINeous and ferg, the yellow clown is Brat. The serpent star is the kraken. And there is Mr. Bojangles the fire shrimp cuz he tap dances all over the tank.

I named my gorgonian Medusa. lol.
 
Two clowns - Guss and Fish.

Hermit crab - Captain Crabbanits (the dastardly detritovore)

Had a dwarf yellow angelfish named Geraldine, lost in tank crash
I'd name the snails if I could tell them apart! Any issue putting a white dot on ones shell?
