So i'm at work again with a few hours to kill and i figured i'd start up another thread. my question for this one is Do you name your fish? i don't name all of mine but if a fish stands out he or she will usually get a name. For example my 9 year old jack dempsey is called "surly jack" because well, he's really surly. Also i have a one eyed kribensis named willy and a pleco named fatty.

I usually buy my fish in groups, so they don't really get named. A couple of male breeders have gotten names.
If I got a "wet pet" it probably would get a name.

I always tell folks that naming a fish is the quickest way to ensure that it will drop dead within a couple of weeks/months. Bad juju imo.

Like Rachel, my oscar is the only one with a name. His personality MAKES me have to name him. He's like a dog! LOL...

I have a gourami that I haven't been able to species ID. It doesn't look like any gourami I've ever seen in person or on the web. It was sold to me as a "dwarf honey". It killed my actual sunset honey gouramis and 2 hatchet fish. This fish runs my 29 gallon community tank. It has been named Brimstone (its a burnt brownish red color).
My JD is named Morelli.

My large pleco is named Sir Poopsalot, two botias are named Big Mikey and Little Mikey and my Ctenopoma acutirostre is named Leafy Guy (or Leafy Dude, depending on the day). One angelfish is named Stripey Guy.
Most of this is either a result of trying to point out something interesting going on in my tank to my husband, or by my husband trying to ask me if what the fish are doing is "normal." (usually, the conversation starts out as, "Hey Honey?...you might want to take a look at your tank...)
Oh, and thanks to the TV show, Better off Ted, my Yellow labs are known to my husband as the Lemon-Flavored Fish.

All I have to say is NIIICE.
That is the best name for a large pleco ever!
