Why Name Your Fish?!

[demonmagus]

is it really worrying that we often refer to the fish as 'the kids' ?

if you have kids then yes

Naming fish....
I spend half my time talking to them....

IMHO All fish have their own unique behaviours deserving of their own names, plus it helps if more than one person is caring for the fish.

My dwarf puffer is called Samuel L. Jackson because he looks and acts a little bit like his namesake.

The temptation is too great....
My gf called our first gold angel blondie (after the singer), who i kept calling goldie, so she called the second angel goldie to make it easy for my amnesiac memory. Our two dwarf gourami peaches and iggy after peaches and iggy pop who dueted on fatherf****r.
I called my two zebra angels derek and raymond after derek raymond (genius) the author i was reading at the time, one gourami tuco (after the ugly character in the good the bad and the ugly) cos he looks a little beat up and behaves manically. My second gourami is degas (after dustin hoffmans character in pappilon) because he behaves so sneakily and always needs another fish (tuco) to watch his back.
