Do You Name Your Fish?

[dbosman]

I used to name guppies, but keeping track of 3,487,652 names got really tedious.

[Fishkeeper]

So I had a tank/livestock makeover, and a chain reaction water problem. Updated name list:
Female bettas: Icicle, unnamed green/blue/black little one
Blue danio: Streak
Leopard daino: Cheetah
Celestial pearl danios: Little Dipper, Shrew
Sparkling gourami: Jewel
Salt-and-pepper cories: Salt & Pepper
Julii cory: Maze
Longfin zebra, leopard, and 2 blue danios: Are yet to be named
Three pygmy cories: Buzz, Hover, Hum (named for their swimming style)

I have most of my fish named. Only my 4 bloodfin tetras and most of my cories are unnamed. Once i get my new tank i will have several new unnamed bloodfins, black neons, loaches, and female guppies. But the guppies will probably get names. Hopefully my loaches dont have to lose them...

I think i got them all. Note these are not in all the same tank. That would be a little crazy...

[DeadSulphurhead]

I just call them by either the common or scientific name lol
2 do have I.ds though.

The one eyed yellow lab is Blinky (Neighbours daughter named)
and the fat 5" yoyo loach is chubby (Nephew named)

[Creaturelover]

In my passed I've always named my fish. My pleco was Joel, my loach was miles, and shane and october were my other 2 little fish. My betta was on its own in another tank and her name was Emily. I cant resist naming, they are pets too

[mermaidwannabe]

Most of my individuals of the same size and species look too much alike to be able to tell them apart well enough to give them separate names. Next time I look, I can't tell which is which...

[NimbleHand48]

I definitely name my fish.
I can tell them all apart, with the exception of a few of the Glowlight tetras.

RIP My MIA Fish: Trippel, Dubbel, Hopps, Lambic, Umbridae, Felix, Aven, Jupiter, Merigold, Jersey, Edith, Gladys, Kiss, Singe and Coral.

That is awesome! I wish I could come up with cool names like that lol. I keep a list of ideas for all my pets, but I just got into fish recently and so I don't have many good names yet.
