So much hostility

[AdoraBelle Dearheart]

I thought about calling my albino corydora "Hoover", but opted for Archibald Spooner. Had to keep the "oo" somehow.

Is Archibald Spooner a reference to something or someone? I kinda love the name!

Yes, indeed!

Spooner was well liked and respected, described as "an albino, small, with a pink face, poor eyesight, and a head too large for his body". It was said that "his reputation was that of a genial, kindly, hospitable man."

Oh! I'd heard of spoonerisms, never knew the origin, so thanks! Liking the idea of naming some of my fish after real people...

I've just named my goofy yellow snakeskin male guppy Bill Bailey, after one of my favourite comedians.
