Changing names.

Big Red is too handsome for his current name. I am renaming him Adonis.

You're going to give him a big ego. He'll probably want a harem of females.

lol. I had a harem for my a. cacatuoides orange morph male…
And either the male or the dominant female murdered the other females. I won’t try that again.

Do you name all your fish or just certain notables ?

The notables. Just my two breeding pairs of a. cacatuoides: Mohawk jr., Adonis, Mrs. Orange and Aurantius.

Every time I’ve named a fish, it has died.

But if you change his name how will he know to come when you call him ?

You are underestimating the IQ of Adonis. His mind is as bright as his red tail.

As a fellow classical music lover and aquarist, may I suggest that a future red-morph Apisto might be named...Van Cliburn?

A great idea. Another famous musician that was a “carrot top” was Vivaldi. I’ll need a fish for him too.

BTW. I’m going to a local theater at 6:30 pm tonight to see an encore streaming of Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor from the 2020 Met performance.
