Jods2518 Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 My fish used to all have names, others have just been passed on...Red Empress male is Otis, his females are both called Milo, RIP all the original name sakes which came with them when my brother gave them to me. Mpanga male is Bubba and his girl is Babs. The M. Esthrea are Cumquat and Tangarine, the Multi's are all called Speedy. The rest of the fish don't have names cause well, my brother started it, and I didn't keep it up!! Fun topic BTW Jodaye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairdeal Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 My Australian lungfish is "the toad" and my red tail cat is "woof". I have way too many to name other than that except for the frontosas and clowns that splash me regularly when I feed them and their special names I can't repeat here.

BettaVishVish Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I name all my fish, and usually I named them based on their characters . It's hard to believe..but that's how I named them LOL but.. I always feel a bit embarrased to tell friend the name of my fish ..I only shared to certain people whom I know won't think that I'm weird so yeah..I guess some people will think we're weird...but who cares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chatty_Platy Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I believe I only have one fish in my tank actually named. The rest I haven't really cared about naming. I have a red wag named Sandy because she has black spots all over her face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJanzen Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 At our house we also only name "special" fish. The first fish to ever be born in my tropical tank and survive to adulthood is a pineapple swordtail who was dubbed Phillip J. Fry after his survival seemed guaranteed. A rubbernose pleco named Dr. Jones, our patriarch guppy father - Ol' Boy and his gigantic successor Sonny. Also a 6" common pleco named Sharka. Used to have an electric blue crayfish named peeps and various koi who were all named. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estorve Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 My current pleco is pacman because of the way she cleans the glass. My two convicts are brothers and named dumb and dumber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
