| | Fish Bum | 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. |

| | Fish Bum | 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 |

| | ID master | 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.

| | Fish Helper | 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 |

| | Fish Bum | 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. |
