Naming your fish

[njtiger aquariums]

How many of you guys and gals give names to your fish? As far as I can remember I have never given names to my fish. I have friends who name theirs so I was wondering how many people give their fish names.

lol my 5 year old gets mad if you call a clownfish a nemo. he will say "its not a nemo! its a clownfish!" he refuses to name a clownfish nemo. its funny when we go into a new lfs or a new worker at our lfs asks him if he wants to see the nemo fish lol

Grey & Goose are the two clowns and Ice is the name of the RBTA that hosts them. Just a small indication of my preferred libation.

Now that's good. I correct my 5 year old when she started calling my clowns nemo. She now corrects my 3 year old.

Yep all my fish minus the guppies have names. They were reproducing too fast to keep up lol.

I only have one named fish. Kids named it Logan after a friend moved away. Other than that, my foxface was Foxy. Very original. I just do not name them. Sometimes they get a nickname like my new onyx perc is spot (kids again). At some point I will show why. I have to get a good pic.
