Hey just wondrin' how close people are with their fish and if ur batty enough to name them cos I do! I love my fish to bits and name all the ones I can recognise. Starting to run out of names though...
I only name a few of my fish as i have too many and my memory is not very good ) ; my male betta is called "lupin" and one of my black khuli loachs who has had a torn tail for its whole life is called "biggles", my red cobra crossed male guppy is called "ember" and my male black tuxedo cross guppy is called "peacock"- other than most fish just get called what they are or just one of my unoriginal names i give them
i.e gold and black molly= "goldy". heh.
My wife names our bettas, usually after Chevy Chase characters in movies. Go figure. We have a Clark (Clark Griswold from the Vacation Movies). We had a Ty (from Caddyshack) but he jumped through a small hole in the hood while we were at work one day and died on the floor. The next one is already named and we don't even have him yet. He will be Fletch. As for the other tanks, it's kind of hard to name a tank full of tetras. They all look the same. I am surprised she hasn't named the angels as they are somewhat easy to tell apart although their stripes do seem to change from day to day.
