Yep, well sorta, I had an oscar named grouchy when I was younger, him and my GT (destroyer) were the fish that made me realize a 20g just don't work for big cichlids!(hey I was young and given them as a gift) But the name reflected his personal nature more than it did the character from sesame street. I didn't even realize the reference until a friend pointed it out. It may have been a subconscious thing too, I hear tell I loved sesame street when I was young. I always thought Oscar the grouch was named after my grandpa tho, hehe his names Oscar, but I never saw him pop out of a trashcan.

Now I don't name my fish anymore. I just think of them as the dominant one, the chasee, the neutral, the freak, big fat a** and so on. Too many fish to keep track of and try and name. It takes long enough to watch the tank after WC's and see if they're all there, I usually can't find em all.
