What do you name your fish and why?
 

I think one of our best is still Trig-no-metric Function.....the complexity of that might even amuse Quinn !! :lol:

Some fish seem to get boring generic names, like Puff, Chromey, or Chevy.

Others have been named by hubby, and I can't decipher the meanings of some of those.... :roll:

Others, strangely enough, never get named.....why is that? :?

I find it at lot easier to tell hubby that Shadow is doing this or that, instead of saying...look dear...look at the acanthurus tenenntii...no dear, the doubleband surgeonfish.... :lol:

Bert n Ernie for a pair of cowfish.

Benny the Blenny(hard one wasn't that. Just wait it gets better ;) ).

Tigger the Trigger. :roll:

Fred and Ethyl for a pair of watchman goby's.

Nikki Sixx for a six line wrasse. (anyone know who Nikki Sixx is?)

Have many more.. will think about it. :)

And get back to you..

maybe in another thread? :D ;)

At this point in time my fish have no names. I don't think it really bothers them :D . Back in the late seventies I had an Ocellaris clown named "Fat Albert". She fooled us and laid a bunch of eggs. Just to prove we were the goofy ones. :wink:

Let's see... we have:

Fred, a damsel - our first fish
Ethel the crab, LR hitchhiker that kept Fred company
Jack blenny
Curly, Larry and Moe - 3 blue leg hermits
Now we found another LR hitchhiker crab, Little Ethel
The Bobsey Twins - 2 peppermint shrimp
3 really fast nassarius snails - Mario Anderetti, Jaques Villeneuve and Speedy Gonzales
Big Bertha the turbo snail

We still have some unnamed snails and hermits - their individual characters have not yet been revealed to us.

I am bad enough with trying to remember peoples names. :lol: I couldn't imagine trying to remember fish's names :roll:

Jon, start with the kids......keep them names straight first... :lol:

I've named ours (the hubby can't be bothered with the names, but my son loves it!).
Blue tang- Horatio
Algae Blenny- Denver
2 cleaner shrimp- Tweedle dee & tweedle dum (not sure which is which).
Thought about naming the brittle star, but we never see him!

argh! :D

Well...I can't believe all the wasted bandwidth :? . Nobody name their tang Pune'? I call dibs. I call my coral beauty, miserable pr*c* and s.o.b. and %&*$^#@ $*+##^%. Only when he chases around my orchid dottyback
