Fish Names

Jen · 04-01-2008, 07:37 PM

Hi all...hope this is the right spot for this, and let me know if it's a dumb idea

I think it would be fun...but maybe I'm the only one who likes fishy names and hearing about other names?

Do you name your fish/tank inhabitants? What are their names, and why?

I'll start if you let me know if this is a good idea?

Sounds like a fun thread go for it

I have a hog fish named Scottie - the name was inspired by an RS member

isn't he adorable

I also have orchid dottie backs named We Will and Rock You (my 4 year old named them)

and a Fuzzy Dwarf Lion named Lionel

PEMfish · 04-01-2008, 08:26 PM

Well... I have this blue fish called Chrysiptera parasema
Dose that count?

sasquatch · 04-01-2008, 08:26 PM

Jen · 04-01-2008, 08:28 PM

Love Lionel!

As promised, I have:

4 Chromis: collectively called 1-4, used to be 1-6
Flasher Wrasse (Fairy...): Liberace
Yellow Watchman Goby: Toby
Yellow headed sleeper goby: Sandy (thinking positively, as I want "her" to sift!)

Looking forward to seeing names!

I'm already smiling!

Love Priscilla and Elvis! You are so clever!

Not sure about the blue fish....

I don't name them all, just the ones with personality or be names that were inspired by others.

Orchid Dottyback--Kellie, inspired by a RS member.

Blue Spotted Jawfish--Spotty, inspired by a RS member.

Long Nose Hawkfish--Burberry, named by my wife.

Royal Gramma - Caesar (his predecessor was Spartacus)
Coral Beauty Angel - Boudicca
Bi-color Blenny – Antonio (his predecessor was Armando)

Skunk Cleaner Shrimp – Scampi (predecessor was Cocktail)
Sea Hare – Gwendolyn (her predecessor was Buffalo)
Tiger Tail Sea Cucumber – Chaz

We’ve also had Thor, a firefish, and Dash, a purple firefish. Oh, and little Levi (short for Leviathan). He was an iddy biddy clown.

Jen- Liberace is fantastic! Love it! :}

kathywithbirds · 04-01-2008, 09:56 PM

Well, we have Flippy the evil 6-line wrasse and Buddy, the garden eel. There's the yellow/scopas hybrid tang, his name is Lil' Al (named after an RS member

), a BW saddleback clown named MiniMoe who was supposed to be introduced to the much-mourned BW saddleback clown Moe.

Formerly we had Spot the more evil domino damsel, but currently Spot is holding court with a scopas at the LFS.

There have been more, but I forget right now.

Herald Angel is Angel
Blue Hippo is called Dash cuz all he does is dash for the food

SJS · 04-01-2008, 11:35 PM

I have 3 chromis - Huey, Dewey and Louie and the new addition a lawnmower blenny - I'm still trying out names for him - started with Lonnie, but it doesn't fit, been calling him Benny and that seems to suit him better...

vdituri · 04-01-2008, 11:39 PM

Gary the yellowhead goby
Skippy the longnose hawkfish
Dr. Strange the 6line wrasse
