Yes, indeed!
Spooner was well liked and respected, described as "an albino, small, with a pink face, poor eyesight, and a head too large for his body". It was said that "his reputation was that of a genial, kindly, hospitable man."

I believe you meant to say "a genial, kindly, manspitable hoss."
Oh! I'd heard of spoonerisms, never knew the origin, so thanks! Liking the idea of naming some of my fish after real people...Yes, indeed!

I've just named my goofy yellow snakeskin male guppy Bill Bailey, after one of my favourite comedians.

I love this image so much! Did you make it? If so, mind if I steal it and share it here when appropriate?
Credit given of course!

Is that the bag-less model?
Yes, the one with the bag is larger, called the Bristlenose.
