    Okay, we all have diferent reasons why we name our fish.

    I have two little brothers, and the first thing they do when i bring a fish home is name it.
    For Example,
    Yellow Tang= Sophia
    Garibaldi Damsel= Gary
    Chromisx4= The School
    Lawnmower Blenny= Simon

    Suposably, my lil bros. say that they name it according to their personality. :rolleyes3

    What have you named your fish, i know im not the only one!

    Well, right now only my lawn mower bleenie has a name. We call him Lorax, like in the Dr.Seuss books. He has eye lashes( or my mom thinks so ), and his face is crazy looking!! He has the best personality of all my saltwater fish.
    Once I got him to start eating dry food, he just wiggels, and waves his fins at everyone that comes to the tank. It is so coool. You can wave at him, and hell wave back!! No joke!! You have one, youll see in a few months.

    My maroon clown is named Cap'n Jake after my buddy who gave him to me...
    The royal gramma is Bonk since that's what it did to the front glass when we first got her...
    The 6-line wrasse is Phillip...because it seemed funny...

    I also have a 20L planted tank with 4 goldfish...they're all named Steve.
    The biggest fish is Steve #1 and the smallest is Steve #4. If any of the fish dies, the other just move up in order...

    My daughters named the six line wrasse coral. I personally never named a fish... I've called them names before (bad names :mad: when i get a jumper or when i get bitten) but never in 10+ years have i named one.

    Emerald Crab = Andrea after my Fiance's sister in law.
    Clown=Dump Truck
    Sleeper Goby=Bulldozer
    Six line= Bob (Bob Cat)
    I think construction equipment names are funny so I name my fish them. Except Andrea the crab.
