Just curious how common it is for people to name their fish/corals/inverts etc. I have been coming up with names for mine and was wondering if that was normal. Share your names below if you have them!

that's adorable XD. I wonder if its more common for younger reefers to name their fish than older. my wife and I just started reef keeping and I get the sense at 23 we're starting in this hobby a little younger than mostmy kids do
ALL THE SNAILS ARE GARY I'M DEAD YOUR TANK IS SO CUTE!!Yes! Everybody! 2 clownfish - Nemo and Marlin. Nemo happened to be female lol. A Pajama Cardinal - PJ. A green Chromis - Shimmer. A Cleaner Shrimp - Sabastian, A Blue Legged Hermit Crab - Eugene. An Emerald Crab - Emmitt. Then we got 2 more Blue legged Hermit Crabs - Keith and Kevin (Hodge Twins lol). There are 5 snails, all named Gary.
My daughter, 16, gives me a hard time because I've named them all and talk to them lol.ALL THE SNAILS ARE GARY I'M DEAD YOUR TANK IS SO CUTE!!

Thank youlol, tbh when I was 16 I probably would have given you a hard time too. kids are kids XD I love your fish names!
My 8 year old daughter tries to name everything, including individual hermit crabs
I was not aware there were salt water cichlids XD I thought they were all brackish! My wife wants a Valentini puffer! don't think we're going to get one in this tank though. Love the names!Fernando - the urchin
Versace - Valentini Puffer
F***ing French Guy - my female clown
Matilda - My male clown (whoops, wait to name after they transition)
Big Yellow ***hole - Electric Yellow Cichlid
White Claw - OB Peacock Cichlid with a jaw deformity
I only name some of them and the remainder I call by the type of fish they are. I have about 30 Cichlids so it became tedious and they can look very similar.
Awww. lenny is adorable!![]()
My son has named this one Lenny. He wonders why he’s so mean to starry the dartfish. I have to tell him it’s because daddy didn’t do his research...
I started naming fish because if I didn't my wife would, which is why my fresh water tank has Slugger the angelfish and Watermelon the Dwarf Gourami XDI'm a teenager and don't name my fish. Probably should before my sister does![]()
