Administrator · #1 ,

Do you give your fish personal names?

Most of the time I do not name each individual fish, but there have been a few exceptional fish I did name.

when I had one 10 gallon tank I used to name them... now I have 7 tanks and too many fish to name

hehehhe

I'm like Dan...I name the exceptional fish. Some just demand to be named...

I have Frank(UDC), Miki(Betta) Mac(Knifefish) Jake, Jasper, and Joey(Clown Loaches)

I only name my bettas, and even then, I use rather ordinary names like Blue, Flame, Heart, Steel. I would name the other fish but I can never tell them apart! if there is a distinguishing feature, it might help but they all look very very similar

My pride of my 125 is a male Haplochromis obliquiden and his name is Victor!

Yrs ago, I had one male that lived in that same tank with a 15 inch Australian arawana. Thankfully, I raised that Aussie from 4 inches and was never fed live food.

I only name my pleco's as there's too many bows in my tank to name. I normaly only have 1 to 3 pleco's in my tank at one time. Right now I have a Hoover, a Kirby, & a Dyson.

I named my fish

I only have 4 so its not hard to tell them apart. I have Slice (orange tail guppy), Sprite (yellow tail guppy), squirt (small albino cory), and spaz (larger albino cory). I would love to keep naming my fish as long as I can tell them apart. I can see how it could get difficult/pointless to name them when you have several that look alike.

I called our betta Ginsu after what one of the ninja turtles said in the 1st movie when leonardo was slicing a pizza over his head. sounded cool and being NINJA turtles and FIGHTING fish....it seem to fit.

I also have a starfish called Chuck. not sure why but it deemed to work. All the other fish are too hard to name as there are too many.

I have named all of the fish in my tank
People name dogs & cats so why not fish?
My first albino cory catfish is called Darnell after Darnell from Big Brother!
