BN called Diego, named by kids. They were watching Ice Age at the time.
Pair of balloon mollies called Fatty and Chubs, named after two friends of ours who are both beanpole thin hence the nick-names.
Apple Snail called BURT. After my chocoholic alter-ego, when asked where all the chocolate has gone I always blame Burt. Not sure why the snail ended up with the name though.
I don't usually name my fish but I recently got a large Zebra Pleco male from Jo and using her words he had a "head like a shovel" so of course he's been named Doug :woohoo:
I've also got a very tiny albino bristlenose juvie that was trapped in an external filter for the first 4 months of its life and is 1/5 the size of its siblings and been named Itsy Bitsy for obvious reasons
oooh, i forgot. My dad named one of my fish, my RTB shark, years ago he had a large chunk of the side of his head injured, and it has left him with a scarred gill, so dad named him Arthur (scargill (used to be a politician in the 80's))
When I was younger I used to and I still have a few of those around. Now I tend to name (plecs) after who/where I got them so its easy to distinguish/differentiate them when I talk about them. For non plecs I dont bother.
My endli is called Poseidon, My Giant gourami is called Persephone, GT is Genghis because he lives up to the name, the plecs are all called mr. hoover, BGK is Blade and my hybrids all get super hero names. Everything else is just called fishy.
I had a large Bristlenose cat that my then 2 year old called Biglad. Not nice when he saw it belly up in the tank and I had to tell him biglad had died. Kept asking "wheres biglad" for about a month afterwards
Bristlenose is called Spotty
Green Phantom is called Minty

L190 Royal has been called "Big Ugly" by everyone but me ...
RTB Shark is called Stephen
Juvi RTB Shark is called Nosey because he always has to investigate anything and everything.
