Do you name your fish?

[reefsandrotts]

only ever named 2 fish-DUMB AND DUMBER after they went carpet sufring.

 

[macawmagic]

every fish i've ever named has died. in fact my neighbors daughter just named my blue throat trigger like a week ago and it's now dead.

I also have a six line wrasse that thinks it runs the whole tank so I named it Saul, which I felt appropriate because this fish seems to believe he is entitled to rule the tank though he will not always.

I think he should be named cat food. Seems like a good name and fate for when he is caught. J/K

I come up with names similar to the type of fish.

Corie - Coral Beauty
Doc - Yellow tang (surgeonfish)
Sue - Diadema Pseudochromis
Pepe - Pink Skunk Clown
Linus - Sixline Wrasse

Yea... it's dumb.

[GatorBen]

I don't name my fish. I have aquariums for the beauty and hobby of the system. Creatures and coral come and go. However I do name my tanks but that is only to keep up with them on my Reef Tank Pro app where I record perameters and activites.

 

[GatorBen]

I do realize I am 2yrs and 5mo behind on this one. I figure a bump to the top might get others to comment.

I had 2 pairs of clowns named Barnum and bailey and the wringling brothers. Notice the key word had. I think its a bad omen to name fish.

I don't, but my wife and kids felt the need to do so. I had a maroon clown for 10+ years and she and her mate were named Roonie and kid rock...
