Fish Names

Jen · 04-01-2008, 08:37 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

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

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! :}

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.
