Do you name your fish?

[FordForever]

I know we are all adults, but I was wondering if I was the only person who DOES NOT name their fish? I know little kids name their goldfish and what not, but do you name all the members of your aquarium?

I only name them occassionaly, right now I have a 2+ y/o male betta whose name I can't remember because it changes everytime my neice comes to visit! I'd like to name my short-finned male just 'cause he's so different and has a unique personality, a name hasn't come to me yet though. I only name them if something really jumps out at me.

I've also found if you name them they die faster... well, that was my experience as a little girl anyhow, lol

My betta is named Bruce. I think this name fits him rather nicely for some reason...

My danios are the 7 dwarfs minus one. lol I only have 6, but they're so goofy that they remind me of the 7 dwarfs (minus one). That's about it though.

Oh, and before my honey gourami died (from old age, I'm guessing), he was affectionately called Mr. Gourami.

If I did name a fish, I would definitely name my gourami I love how he swims and then pauses and bends his whole body like hes posing for a photo shoot. What a cool little fish.

I've named some of mine. It's kind of hard to name 12 dither fish though, lol.

Rarely I will. I had to name my trio of Gouramis though - Jack, Janet, and Chrissy. Definitely three's company with them since they like having little orgies in there!

[FordForever]

Eew, do gourami orgies produce little fry?

[MandyL]

Not for these guys... Just eggs. But actually not so much an orgie as a male who got lucky 2 nights in a row. And then most likely ate his babies. :(

I don't name my fish either.

I have a blue dwarf gourami, how do I tell if he is male or female.
