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 !!
 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....  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....

At this point in time my fish have no names. I don't think it really bothers them
. 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.

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