I name all of em. My brother wanted those glofish, but I said no because I wanted to name them, and wouldn't naming things that looked exactly the same be hard? I have Sunny the guppy ad Otto the otocinclus catfish. I even have names for one of my future fish I'm getting! Moe the blue platy.

Also, RIP Squirt.

I just name the 3 Koi and the goldfish in the pond. To many in the tanks to keep track of.

I named my male guppy macho man because he harassed all of the other males until he was the only one left. My goldfish's name is fins. The rest I didn't name.

Since I just finished cycling my tanks and don't have any large shoals yet I've named all my fish. If I end up getting a shoal of tetras or other fish that are hard to tell a part I'll probably just come up with names but not know which fish are which.

Currently I have:
20 gal goldfish: 1 comet named Bob Dylan and 1 red oranda named Spot (both juveniles)

20 gal tropical: 1 pictus catfish named Stimpy and 3 male guppies named Mac, Cheese and Tango

I name some of my fish, but not all of them. Like I named my lobster, Mr. Pinchy, I named some of my bettas, when I had them, and a few of the others who I could tell apart from my other fish.

I name almost all of my fish. I want to name them all but I have 3 that I havent decided on names for yet. And 2 I didnt name as I am donating them (blue gourami's) to bolivianbaby as soon as we can work it out to meet. I have 2 new baby Oscars that I havent named b/c #1-I dont know what sex they are yet so I need names that could work for either male or female #2-I havent had them long enough to really know their personalities.African cichlids: bluegon,tangie,ripley,peewee,convict,cellmate

I've only named the ones that I can tell apart, so the big Danio female who established herself as the Alpha I call "Big Momma". Freya is my Gourami and Lynyrd is my BN.

My kids love to name the smallest fish Littley but they always grow and then you can't tell them apart. We have named our bettas, and we have a platy And a betta named Baby because they were born in our tanks. My daughter who is a HUGE Harry Potter fan named our Demasoni's James, Lily and their son Harry. All the other fish are nameless, not that we don't love them any less.
