angel not fish December 6, 2009 Share December 6, 2009 I do have a PAC MAN - big eater, yellow and oval shape - yellow tang. Also have a SURPRISE - so shy, lives in a shell, comes out for lunch and dinner, any exception its a SURPRISE - purple firefish. There is somebody else, he never think out of the box (I mean anemone), so his name is aNNNemone. - clown. And my FRIEND - he is the friendliest, so lovely, he is more angel than angel fish, he is the fox face. So, and your names .... Fabiana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie December 6, 2009 Share December 6, 2009 In my African tank, I have a big guy that loves to chase everybody and has moved ALL of the substrate from under the rock pile. The name that I gave him really isn't repeatable on a family forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davelin315 December 6, 2009 Share December 6, 2009 I like my fishes alive so I don't name them (You'll get this as you spend more time on the forums and get more addicted to the hobby I tell every student who comes into contact with any fish at school that they may not name a fish for at least a month, if not longer, as whenever a fish is named at Floris it dies. This has happened on more occasions that I can remember, and it even carried over to this past summer when a family that was taking care of a fish tank for us named a fish one night, it died the next, and then the entire tank crashed over the course of a few days, killing off a trigger, an eel, and some damsels. Last year we had a puffer and no one in my class named it, but then a kid from another class named it and what do you know, the next morning it was dead. This is one of many stories.

bluefunelement December 6, 2009 Share December 6, 2009 I'm actually developing a presentation for Ignite Annapolis on the topic of my crazy fish names. As a friend told me - most of my fish tend to name themselves - most recently my newly introduced 6line wrasse found his way to get completely wedged into a locline output with 12hrs of being in the tank - had to use bone cutters to cut him out of the locline - his name: Harry Houdini.

Malawi December 6, 2009 Share December 6, 2009 (edited) I usually don't wind up naming all of my fish or other animals myself. My african cichlids are Shaman (named by a friend, and an absolutely nasty fish), Mojo, and LB, which is short for little son of a gun. I bought him because he had all of the other cichlids trapped against the glass in the store. I figured he'd be the best bet to hold his own in my tank, and he earned his name. LB is the youngest, the other two I've had for five years now. I had a Martha Washington, but she went to live in another tank after she outgrew mine. I have two fish in the saltwater tank, a lawnmower blenny and a neon blue goby. Still debating names on those. The peppermint shrimp is named Lobster. And my bettas at work are Sushi (RIP) and Finley (by a coworker, since I took too long to come up with a name). Edited to add: Oops, LB's name got filtered. Sorry!

mogurnda December 6, 2009 Share December 6, 2009 Not too many names here (insert old joke about not coming when called). The baby clown I got from Doug is called, well, Doug. in 3 or 4 years, no name has ever stuck on his mate. As a new male, he was 'little clown" and now is Mrs Doug. The rabbitfish answers to Bunnyhead, but that's not much of a name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
