I don't really name my fish. Since my kids are grown and gone sometimes kids that come to visit give them names, but they have forgotten them by the next time they visit and they all get new names.

The only one I planned to name once I got it was the Lion, I waited so long for one and he was going to be the centre of attention (ha ha)....his name was going to be a-whem-a-way...

After carefully aclimating him, immediately upon release he ate a 25.00 shrimp. Seriously I don't even eat 25 bucks worth of shrimp in one sitting!

His name became.....$hit-head right then and there.

I hate to laugh at that misfortune but thats kinda funny

I have 12 fish and they all have names except for two chromis's. Some named by friends, some from previous owners, but mostly by my wife

i dont name my fish but i think i might now that they've settled in and stopped getting sick.


but i think real crazy is when you see a lady (most of the time a lady) at the fish store looking at the fish and talking to them as if they can hear and understand

I see that everyday as well, unfortunately it's in my own home.

None of my fish have names except for my Powder Brown Tang. My wife really wanted it so we bought one and she named it "Spaz" since it swims around the tank like a maniac all day long.
