Just wondering how many of us out there name their fish? Most of my fish don't have names but I do have, Bruce the giant gourami, 2 sailfins called Big fella & sylvester , a bristlenose Houdini & a betta named bluey. :)

I don't name them but the missus does.

The pair of Angels are Phil and Grant (will mean nothing to anyone outside the UK).

Any Syno is called Seth, ask her why, I have no idea!

My husbands breeding pair of Albino Bn's are called Samson and Delilah and one of their offspring we have kept is named Eames ( this name may change to Goren if it is male ):D

I used to name all fish I bought but not so much now.

I was down to one neon once so called it Gordon and the new wild green neons I added followed it around so I called them the Gordon gang.

Most plecs begin with a P - Percy the gold spot, Patrick the cactus, Paul the vampire plec, gold nugget was Pixel.

The lone hatchet fish after the rest suicided is Flash.

I am sure there are other names and funnily enough my L129 is called Doodles, was a coincidence.


Pretty stupid really, and for some reason the royal plec is now cartoon head, it did have a different name to begin with?

Hi,

... initially we give names for our plecos.
When we could not distinguished the plecos, we ended to give names. Today there are too many plecos (~ 300).
But few, very characteristic plecos have received names regardless.

F.e.

"Borstel"
(In the children's television, there is a small hedgehog with this name "Borstel".
This from our Peckolitas sp. "L 265" has most courageoushas and has most odontodes - like a hedgehog.)

Greetings
Elko
