Naming Fish

[NeonNeptune]

Funny thing about my fish is all my friends(the girl ones) always ask me what the names of my fish are so I just make them up on the spot most of the time, but like my beta is known as the Beta, so I guess he has a name lol.

I name all my fish. It's always exciting choosing a name for a new fish.

These are my fish names:

blue rams: Bernard and Rose
gold rams: Graeme and Pearl
Betta: Sir Barry Pose-a-lot
Platies: Paul, Polly, Peppa, Poppy
Guppies: Gary, Gill, Gavin, Gareth
Albino cories: Albert and Alfred
Apple snails: Slimon and Mishell

Then I have various schooling fish in the tanks, they get a general name. My son named his neon tetras Neenaas (he loves fire engines ) and the minnows are Minnies.

I've named almost everything including my biggest pest snail and fry.

Hoplo: Tzuppy
Red Swordie: Bee
Black Berlin Swordie: Cracker
black fry: Ninja
pink fry: Pinky
snail: Ramses

Seems the snail has had a batch of smaller snails, as they somehow ended up in my filter.
And a new snail (either trumpet or apple) might be joining soon as dad said he will get one of those probably this week.

Aside from that, I have an European pond turtle named Blasty and a newt named Fat One.

I name tanks.

My son's done that too. We have 'The Edge', 'The Deep', 'The Shallows', 'The Cube', 'The Pool', 'The Green and Black' and 'Gormok's Pad'

Most of the fish, but not all, have some sort of 'name', even if it's a collective one!

Gormok, the oscar
Six, the striped talking catfish
Spot, the spotted " "
Half Tail, the syno
Gorky, the black angel
Mrs Whippy, the royal whiptail
Russell, the BN
Weekly, the L052
Syn, the gibbi

The Lads, the male Endler's (the female Endler's don't get named )
The Swarm, the tiger barbs
and then there's Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, and Bob, the green neons

None of the rest have any kind of name, they're just 'the zebra loach', or 'the silvertips'

I only name the ones I can tell apart

I name the ones I can tell apart easily too. So my betta is called Zod but also sometimes called Fatty McFatterson or Mr GrumpyPants

My corys used to be called The 3 Stooges but there's more than 3 now!

I saw the vid of your cories and the betta, lol never knew cories move so quick and the betta was so elegant. Epic music too.

They're more like jet planes than my hoplo is. X))) He's moving more like a goldfish compared to cories.
And your betta being so calm, it's amazing. He doesn't seem to mind anything there.
What happened to those snails you've added though that he was interested in?

 

[Alm0stAwesome]

Nope he's a pretty good boy really. The verdict is still out on the snails lol - I'll let ya know (it's hard to tell if they are alive or dead ya see )

 

[Salam]

Saw a vid of it on youtube.
The comments below that vid were mostly saying: fish porn.
And the people commenting it in the vid made me laugh too.
