| Help me name my fish! NAME HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN CHOSEN!!!
Alright, I can't figure out what to name this puffer, or what gender I should call it. So, I'd like to get opinions from you all. (As a disclaimer, asking opinions often gets my creative juices flowing and thus leads me to figure out which one really works, so don't be offended if I don't pick yours  )
The puffer is very curious, loves its hamster tubes and bubble wall. It has also not picked off the ghost shrimps or snails yet, which I thought was odd. It's afraid of my crab Guinnevere though, which I think is pretty funny. Luckily Guinnevere is not in sight almost all the time.

| I voted Rayni, but I also like Torrance. That's so cute that she/he is afraid of your crab. | |

| I vote Hermes, the way puffers swim remind me of the cartoon version of him. He had a winged helmet and sandals so he sort of floated around. Plus he was hugely mischievous. There is a story in Greek mythology that says the day he was born he wandered out of his cave to investigate the nearby cattle he could hear. Then he tied brooms to their tails and herded them away. The brooms swept away their tracks and he hid them so well that no one could find them. Zeus had to interfere to get them back. | |

| It's an alligator
A real, live, brackish alligator that doesn't grow at all and never moves except for opening and closing it's mouth to spit bubbles out. | |

| I picked Fletcher, but I really think Mitch or Thomas would be cute. Or, if you're thinking girl, Hailey or Kelly.
...Heck, I might even go so far as Mable. | |

| XD Those are all names of people I know and/or are related to, but I just like the names anyway. Except Mable, never met a Mable.
Any decision yet? | |

| I believe I have come to a decision. I like alot of those names, and so I picked a few for her name. I've also decided that she's a she
Her name shall forever be known as:
Fletcher R. Torrance
(The R stands for Rayni)
I think that Fletcher is a cute name for a girl cause it's unusual, esp. as a girl's name. I hope you guys like it, but if not, as I have been saying to my family all week... it's my fish!!! lol | |
