My daughter names them all after cartoon charaters... mainly scooby doo. I think shaggie is pregnant with scooby's babies...they are platies...although the father could have been one of the hex girl platies (a band from scooby doo)... Who knows...

My betta is Jubal Early. Of my 10 cories, the only one I know to be female is Saffron a/k/a Our Mrs. Reynolds, and the other 9 are the crew of Serenity. The names are influenced by my scifi nerdiness. Some other scifi fans might get the references.

I think it's a bad idea to gives names to your fish. If you give them a name, you can never eat them!!

Go to your aquarium and click on your fish. A small window will come up that gives you the option to name your fish.

I name all of my fish. The current ones are:

Jamie (peppered corydoras)
Bandit (panda corydoras)
Bono (peppered x panda hybrid corydoras)
The Edge (peppered x panda hybrid corydoras)
Keto (I think - my sister named this one) (albino corydoras)
Ruby (my other sister named this one) (albino corydoras)
Akula (red-tailed black shark)
Seraph (angelfish)
Blue Angel (angelfish) - I named her after the Blue Angels. Has anyone seen them in an airshow? They're awesome.
Dimitri (cockatoo cichlid)
MiG (cockatoo cichlid)
Dart (neon tetra)
Zig (neon tetra)

My brother loved it when I told him that I named my female cockatoo cichlid after a class of Russian jets. And when I named my shark after a class of Russian submarines.

My dad likes that I named my baby catfish Bono and The Edge. We're big U2 fans in my house.

I name all the fish tank have a special connection, ie, Gilbert is the first fish to be born and survive in my tank. Darwin is my Gourami, Daisy is my massive white guppy, Flora is my odd-tailed guppy, Sunny is my other one

Oh, two smaller male cuppies are called Steve and Sir Digby Chicken Caeser.

I'm normal?

i find something ironically funny about giving animals plain, sensible human names.
hence, my male betta is called simon.
he's the most beautiful iridescent blue with a black head and flashes of red around the fins and gills.
