caja Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Yeah I know, I've heard people say not to name them cuz it surely means they're not long for this world, but my 17 year old son has named our yellow watchman goby. The fish is now known as Osama bin Goby. The story behind this is that the goby has created a system of caves and tunnels under this piece of live rock in our tank and it rarely comes out. Hence the Osama reference. I thought this was kind of clever! I give you Osama bin Goby: Link to comment

Xavier Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 you know, *I* haven't named any (except for the GOB I had - he was "Slimer"), but my GF has started naming them.. I'm gonna hafta try to convince her to give them some better names then "Happy", "Sunny" and "Sky" Although in my FW tank I have an extremely large Parrot fish and his name is Guido 'cause he's a fat bully.. if he could talk it'd definitely be a NJ Mafia accent... I like the common name Liz has for her scooter blenny... I think I'm gonna start calling my fish by common names... "Steve", "Frank", "Gary"... heh heh It always starts out this way.. and before I know it, it becomes more then just a name.. MUCH more then a name... you know, "Steve has three children but left his wife for a perc-y little gal. He works in construction but spends his spare time exercising by swimming laps and drinking with his buddies Frank and Gary. Last summer Steve and Gary took a trip down the coast for a vacation, got drunk, and found themselves in a cat house... Gary got a nasty STD and has been on meds ever since." Link to comment
