    I haven't named my fish but I definitely talk to them :D I can't help it. I know they don't understand a word I'm saying but that's ok. They still interact with me. My cleaner now jumps on my hand, my clown rubs on me when I'm in the tank.....

    We have names for them. My 5 year old picked out cartoon character/Star Wars names.

    Maroon Clown - Tom
    Bicolor blenny - Jerry
    Sailfin Tang - Scooby
    Scooter Blenny - Scooter
    Coral Beauty Angel - Princess Leah
    Chromis - One, two and three (too many to name I guess?)


    And yes, we talk to them! :eek:

    I name some of my fish. I think I have most of their names in my sig, but anyway...

    Rabbitfish - Dr. Jackel or Mr. Hyde
    Yellow tang - C-3PO
    I don't have a name for my clowns instead I have a song for them; Send in the clowns

    We name them but we're not to creative. Blenny Man for the blenny, Peaches the pink anthia, and Hippie the hippo tang. Almost forgot Habebee and Spot the Bangai cardinals. Habebee was Klinger's imaginary two hump camel on MASH.
