I'm in the same boat, up to my eyeballs in guppy fry and desperately trying to find good homes! I wouldn't say no to the platies though, haven't owned any yet and it might be fun. If I can only get rid of all these babies and clear some space!

My 4 new bettas all have names now.

Red female=Phoenix (means blood red)

White female=Yuki (means snow)

Pink/red male=Aquarius (means "The Water Bearer" plus Aquarius is my zodiac sign)

Green/Red male=Ladon (pronounced LAY-DONE...ancient Greek myth says Ladon was a dragon that guarded Hera's golden apples and was slain by Hercules)

 

[puppyduck]

Steve Irwin; blue/red veiltail my boyfriend got just before his 21st Birthday. Name Steve Irwin after the legend. We just call him Steve or Steven tho.


Khan; pink/red crowntail. Named after lead singer of Kamelot. Cant put down whether they are a prog metal or power metal band tho cos there will be arguments from the boyf.

We also have 4 girls (our 5th Ariel sadly died); Tinkerbell, Jasmine, Belle and Heather. All Disney princesses bar Heather who was named after the 80's film "Heathers" starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater.

 

[dsingleton]

I just have one at the moment, Wentworth. Named after the actor Wentworth Miller who plays Michael Schofield (AKA Fish) in Prison Break!

 

[-Deano-]

Male Vt = Spanky

I've got five now, after a bit of a nasty accident that led to one of my little girls death...

So...

Big Blue-My eldest boy, and fairly self explanetory. He was almost called "Bubbles", but it seemed a little too wimpish for him. He does get "Sulkie" sometimes-he just sits in his plant and sulks until I feed him-the greedy little beggar!

Jagged-She has a jagged tail!

Yuko Yuki- partially named by my sister after a character from one of her favorite manga's, xXxHolic. Yuko has a small marking on her back that looks like 3 x's. Yuko means gracious child, and Yuki means Snow in Japanese.
There was a slight mistranslation on our part-my sister and I wrongly believed that Yuko would translate to "Blood", and that she would be named "Blood on Snow." When we first got her she was a pale white, with light pink fins, and it fitted. She has darkened down now, so she has a cream coloured body, and dark red fins.

Piglet-she's a light pinkish white, and eats everything. She'd happily munch away all day if I let her. I really have to monitor just how much she's eating, and distract her at feeding time-she'd never let any one else eat otherwise!

Tchaikovsky-named by my brother. I'm not too sure why though. I think he just liked the sound.

And we come to Goldie-she was a beautiful little gold HM, with big aqua coloured eyes. Unfortunatly she died this week in a nasty accident with the filter.
So I'm trying to find a replacement, and another girl to join her in the tank.

Mr. Red (red CT, my 4 year old named)
Mr. Rainbow (blue CT, my 4 year old named)
Mrs. Rainbow (Mr. Rainbow's wife)
Pinky (VT with pink body and beautiful blue fins)
Zorro (green/blue VT with black face)
And 7 fry who have not been named yet, but are just about ready to go into their own tanks and be named.

My Boys:

Rojo: named in reference to the Blue Raja in Mystery Men - name just seemed to fit.

Mohana: it's hawaiian for "bunch of flowers" and with his random colors he seemed like a tropical flower of sorts.

Nova: he reminded me of a star... (sorry for the crappy lighting)

Ming: dunno why

Sushi: he's my cronic fin nibbler - his tail has been full length once! He was a rescue from Petco.

Chester: named after the Winchester brothers in the TV series "Supernatural" - you can't really tell in the photo but he's a double double ray...and he's in a nice 3 gallon home now...

Falcor: named after the luck dragon from "The Neverending Story"

Mr Tumnus: named after the fawn in "The Lion the Witch and the Waredrobe" because when I first brought him home he was constantly hoping on the top of the water...he was another rescue, from Petsmart (don't get me into the icky conditions I found him in )

And...the girls:

Wisp: named after Rainbow Brite (her real name is Wisp) - Picture was from when I just brought her home she's living happily in a bigger tank now.

Calypso: just seemed to fit

Angie: named in reference to Lala Orange from Rainbow Brite

Kepi: it's Egyptian for Tempest

Akane: named after the girl in Ranma 1/2

(no picture for her as my camera broke this weekend )
