Do People Name Their Fish?

[fishoholic]

When my nieces and nephew were younger they named all my fish although I never remembered what they were. I called my regal tang Dori (couldn't help myself it just seemed right) and I named my yellow frogfish that I had bumble bee. My Fu man chu lionfish is named fireflight and while my cow fish reminds me of r2d2 I call him Herman. Probably because he looks monsterish and I liked the character Herman munster from the old tv show the Munsters.

None of my other fish have names other then my king angel who gets called stupid king, big meanie or jerk a lot.

Only 2 fish in my tank really have a name. I named my yellow tang twitch cause he twitches every once in a while and he also battles himself with the glass doing his tail swipe motions. Than I named my first first george, the yellow watchmans goby. He always looks upset like george from seinfeild.

love them, and I am going to be sad once my yellow tang gets re-homed

I don't really name my fish. Since my kids are grown and gone sometimes kids that come to visit give them names, but they have forgotten them by the next time they visit and they all get new names.

The only one I planned to name once I got it was the Lion, I waited so long for one and he was going to be the centre of attention (ha ha)....his name was going to be a-whem-a-way...

After carefully aclimating him, immediately upon release he ate a 25.00 shrimp. Seriously I don't even eat 25 bucks worth of shrimp in one sitting!

His name became.....$hit-head right then and there.

I hate to laugh at that misfortune but thats kinda funny

I have 12 fish and they all have names except for two chromis's. Some named by friends, some from previous owners, but mostly by my wife

i dont name my fish but i think i might now that they've settled in and stopped getting sick.


but i think real crazy is when you see a lady (most of the time a lady) at the fish store looking at the fish and talking to them as if they can hear and understand
