Do you name your fish?

[LesPoissons]

Just curious if everyone names their fish? Do you name all of them or just the special ones? How many is too many to name? What’s your silliest fish name?

Wife names them. The rules are simple. Each fish gets a name however if it’s a schooling fish then they all get the same name. She asked me tonight if corals needed names too....

 

[sporeefer]

I do! I’ve got a helfrichi firefish named Pish, a white tail tang named Wu Tang, and a cleaner shrimp named Skrimp Pickens.

 

[flsalty]

In the 50 years I've been keeping fish, I don't think I have ever named one.

 

[S.Pepper]

My first fish will be named #1... and the second will be named #2... etc. I think I am going to copyright #1. ;Hilarious

 

[Vinman]

I've got the referee (bangi) big bird (yellow tang) mr pickels (watchman) three stooges (3 lightning maroons) the others haven't been named

 

[JasonK84]

I’ve named a few. But not all.

There’s Pablo

Then my PBT named Jeff (actually Jèfe cause he’s the tank boss.

[hllb]

Yes. I never did with my previous tanks but now I have kids so yes, they’re all named. The bigger inverts too (but not the snails or hermits).

 

[Jon Fishman]

Kids do the naming....

Nano

Flurry Clown: Snow White. (Walter White jumped)

Bessie the Longhorn Cowfish
Boxy Brown the Cubicus Boxfish
Leonard the Quoyi Parrotfish
Camelia? (not sure.... named after Karma-Chameleon) the Gem Tang

Most of my fish have old man names.

 

[motortrendz]

My wife named my vlamingi "Frank" and my orange shoulder is "sunny" shes named the others but I dont pay too much attention. But for some reason those 2 have stuff I with me for the last few years lol

 

[Beardo]

Some get named some don't...seems less get named now as the kids get older as wife and kids did most of the naming.
A few of the names past and present

Desjarsini Tang - Fin Diesel
Royal Gramma - Purple Flurp
Lavender Tang - Laverne
Lineatus Wrasse - Skittles
Black Storm Clown - Sormy (wife didn't like the idea of naming the other clown Daniel though)

If they deserve it... some yes, some no... Sometimes a name just jumps out at me.

Had a male betta in a water pitcher for nearly a decade. His name was Ceviche.

Used to have a black volitan Lionfish named Paula, after an old girlfriend of mine. Beautiful, and poisonous.

None of my current fish are named, but a good friend has a longhorn cowfish that was about a half inch long when he got it, named it emoji.

 

[Jeeperz]

My female Wyoming White is named Miss Piggy, stupid but fitting. No others have names really.
