Recently my 2 year old VT passed on and I had been looking for a new betta for a while. I finally found one, and here he is!

I'm hoping you guys can help me name him. I'm not so much into regular names like, Joe, Ralf, Alex, human names etc. I've had names in the past like Punka and Tinker so something cute and catchy. ^^

He's living in a 5g tank. Planning on changing the rocks for a prettier color soon.





I've never had one with a pinkish body before, so I'm pretty happy with him. In the right light, its a GORGEOUS pastel pink/purple color.

Oh, he's gorgeous! I'm not very good at naming fish. Maybe if you tell us a little about him, that might help.

pinkfloydpuffer

He's so cute!
Any pink fish I see I automatically want to name it Floyd or Pink Floyd... LOL
Um... I like Russian names alot, like Romanovich or something lol

Foolyfoo

Boris! Hes gorgeous by the way!

Austin {Aquarist}

or...Borat

Foolyfoo

Lol "Very nice!"

He is very cocky and stand-offish. If you walk by the tank, he'll swim right up to the side and follow you. Quite the show-off as well! He was all too willing to flare for me when I was snapping some pics.

Romanovich... Maybe Roma? Does that sound a bit too feminine?

Thanks foolyfoo, lucy, and pinkfloyd. ^^


Ohh! What about Sparta? Hahaha!

Foolyfoo

Hehe Sparta is awesome.
Hmm, hard to think of names... maybe something manly like Jim.
Wait I know! Sir Wellington the third!
Too much? Lol

CHoffman

Off subject...Sorry..Pink tonight I was looking at mbuna setups on youtube and thought of you because they had Pinkfloyd as background music..It went perfect.

Back on subject...He is beautiful. I love him...How about Sebastian

Matt

What a beautiful boy

He is a very nice crowntail you have there.

What about Sentho

pinkfloydpuffer

This is Sparta!

Maybe Romano? That's a bit more masculine. Even though it's a kind of cheese ^_^

Sweet! What song?

Martinismommy

He's a very nice looking Crownie!

Nag Champa

Archimedes is a good name for a fish I'd say. Or if you like the Russian names Rasputin would work your fish seems to be cocky enough to pull it off. Or Boris, I like Boris because it's a song by the Melvins and a Japanese Sludge/Psychedelic band named after the song.

pinkfloydpuffer

Or Boris the Spider by the Who

Zoreta

Something flashy and cocky? Elton.

For Elton John, that is.

pinkfloydpuffer

You mean Sir Elton... he's been knighted you know.

Matt

Haha PFP. You are correct he has been knighted.

I think Sentho or Rudolphus are good names for him?


-Matt

pinkfloydpuffer

So has my dear Sir Paul.

Matt

PFP You really are a funny lady you know that
