Lets hear the name of your aquarium animals!

[vlangel]

clementine and felix are my ocellaris clowns, and goby wan kenobi is my yellow watchman.

Goby wan kenobi is a good one!

Just name them after things, characters, songs, people, etc. that you like.

My fish are named after characters from Hannibal (Bedelia du Maurier), LotR (Boromir), a couple drag queens (Bimini Bon Boulash and Ginny Lemon), a band (Shannon and the Clams), and Buhtricia is from this lady I used to work with named Patricia who had this really bad cold, and every time she answered the phone she’d say ‘thith ith Buhtricia’ (it was so stupid and made me laugh, and the shrimp kind of reminds me of her the way it’s always up in everyone’s business and is really passive aggressive, tho itth Buhtricia!).

Buhtricia's story made me laugh!

You are welcome! I am enjoying seeing all the cute names folks come up with.

He made my tank look like a nuclear winter .... his fave game is dropping sand into the powerhead so it makes the tank look like a snowglobe.

Thank you for the explanation. I was kind of wondering why a fish would be called Chenobyl.

My grow out tank‘s six line is called “Sixie Wrasse” and I am looking for an excuse to get a second one just so I can call them “Too Sixie”

I’ve got:

Darla, the very confused not-so-Yellow Watchman Goby and her Tiger Pistol Shrimp, Pistol Pete. (The most dysfunctional symbiotic relationship I’ve ever heard of as Darla regularly abandons poor Petey each time he digs her a new burrow)

Guppy, the charismatic Neon Goby.

GunSmoke, the snail-killing, assassin Bullseye Pistol Shrimp.

 

[Steph72]

I'd rather hear the names everyone's spouses call them when they come walking in with a new $150 fish in a clear bag

Luckily my hubby is an easy win on fish so I don’t have to deal with any lectures! Lol Coral is another issue (honey, it was really cheap....yeahhhh, as I’m paying split pays left and right) hahaha

 

[jassermd]

Love hate relationship with any sand sifting goby .

cool to watch but irritating watching them cover corals at the same time

You and I both! Love him as he's been a model citizen and keeps my sand looking great... however, at the cost of needing to constantly whiff the sand off all my sand based corals. ;Bored

 

[shadow_k]

My clowns are named Ellie and Joel (Last of us game) and my peppermint shrimps name is Pepe

I feel like Darla is getting a bad rap. Petey should not go off and dig a new burrow. Some of us like to put down our roots and stay put!

Clearly Darla feels the same way!

Poor little Petey. Apparently the whole, ‘grass is greener, burrows are deeper’ mindset just doesn’t apply to his situation.
