Do you name your tank's inhabitants?

[rennjidk]

We no longer name anything in the tanks.. The ones with names are always the first to die. Naso is naso purple tang is purple etc. That as far as naming goes here

 

[killer2001]

I name them if they develop a personality or if a name comes to me. The largest snail of the CUC is always known as Big Bertha.

My Tangs name is Ctenochaetus tominiensis.

I let my daughter Maizy do it she’s 5.

 

[SaltySam09]

I typically don’t name my fish or invertebrates, but I do have a maroon clownfish named Melkor/Morgoth -it varies day to day-
And I have a Mexican turbo snail named Bonk, because he crashes into the rim of my tank all the time.

 

[Miami Reef]

I don’t think I ever had a fish/coral/invert I named.

I used to have pet cockatiels that I named though.
