Default Name your fish?

Always been interested in the names people give their pets...kind of reveals a lil of the personality of the owner/pet. Lets see some pics of your fish...their name...and why/how did you come up with the name.

that's a gorgeous shot of Ezekiel baer...all spread out...looks like a butterfly's wings..very nice!

that's funny blind..although I'm not touching the family member thing...I think bubbles is a cute name for the tang...I had thought that if I had gotten a yellow I would call him short bus!!

Okay...i'll prolly get flamed for this (and I do feel guilty)..but I do have a hippo...my son gave him to me for a father's day gift... my mom took him to the lfs...he was so proud that he picked out a fish for me...I explained to him later that from now on we'll have to pick out fish together...but I couldn't break his heart and take him back...so I'm gonna raise him in the 55 until I get a larger tank or sell him back when he gets too big...he is small...but I named him Marshall, because he is really in control of the tank; and I named my clown Skipper..beacuse he "skips" around with his funny lil wiggle.

I refuse to name fish anymore. I have always had bad luck with fish that I name. Everytime I named a fish it would die. So that put a stop to that.

I told my family and friends that and they thought I was insane. Thanks for the temporary sanity

I have this little gold striped goby, I named him Napolean. He is small and mighty, very determined little fish. Survived ich one too many times...Napolean. The rest of the fish have been named by the 3 yr old.
