Eventually most of mine got nicknames.

Tomini - Ms Frizzle
Melanarus - Hannibal
Red Head Fairy - Ms Piggy
Flame Hawkfish - Big Red or Burt depending on whom you ask.
Clowns - no special name
Niger Trigger - no name yet
Desjardinii Sailfin - Digiorno... Cause the wife could never pronounce Desjardinii.
Powder Brown - Coco
Firefish - Doombringer.... Because he was the patient zero for prazi resistant flukes that cased me to rip out all of my Aquascape, pull all the fish, hyposalinity, then rebuild aquascape NSA style.

Was this due to their large... Movements?

Cause the reason we named our Tomini Ms Frizzle was because of her poops the size of the magic school bus.
I just picked up a tomini tang yesterday... are they known for large movements? mine has not pooped yet... do I need more crabs?

All the fish and some inverts get names in my house.

The tank is still young, but so far we have:
YWG and Pistol shrimp - Ivan and Bob (after the one and only Ivan)
Royal Gramma - Estelle (after Joey's agent in Friends)
2 Blue leg hermits - Jumba and Pleakley (from Lilo and Stitch)

Also, my niece has a blue betta named Red.
