Re: Fish Names

My 4 yr old named most of ours...
Foxface - Cinderella
Blue Tang - Dori of corse
Lawnmower Blennie - Mean Ass, I named him
Clowns are all Nemo
We have more, but have not named them. Our favorit was a Bi Color Blenny and his name was Wormy, but we lost him!

Re: Fish Names

This is a great thread. We want to try and have a cartoon tank so my son understands what is in there. So we have:

clownfish- Nemo
blue hippo- Dori

we want to add some other things from cartoons that he will know. As long as everything will get along.

Re: Fish Names

I love naming fish. But only those that have a personality.
I named my Tomato Clown Fish Isaiah, my blue green chromis (the only one to survive the power outage) Artemis, and my (what I think is a) blacktip grouper Illidan.
And when I say "what I think is" I just mean I'm still trying to figure it out >.> he was given to me a few days ago haha.
