trmiv Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 My wife insists on naming pretty much everything, except the corals. Neptune, the true percula clown Birdy, the four-line wrasse Pepe, the skunk cleaner shrimp Hector, the mexican turbo snail The hermets and various other snails have no names. Link to comment

Hyshnari Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Gilgamesh - make H. Kuda seahorse Ishtar - female H. Kuda seahorse (deceased) Bonnie - female black "percula" clownfish Clyde - male black "percula" clownfish The only ones I haven't named are the ones I can't tell a difference between -- so mostly my dwarves. And the ones I don't plan on keeping. Umm... I named all my old freshwater fish, but they're gone... Here's a quick list of the cichlids: Killer, Blue, Yellow Tiger Fish (yes, that is a NAME *grin*), Wacko, Jacko, and Mr. Smoochy the pleco. And my red-eared slider is an "aquatic pet", and his name is Tobias/Toby. Link to comment
Hyshnari Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Oh, almost forgot... my boyfriend decided to name all of his freshwater dwarf puffers after STDs... (forgive my spelling) There's Crabs, Syphellus, Gonorrhea, and Chlamydia. Cute, right? Link to comment

Zoffoperskof Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Me and a friend not only named everything in my tank, we gave them all a backstory. I guess I'll list them (keep in mind we were pretty wasted when we did it): Maximillian: red shroom, king of the aquarium kingdom Jennifer: yellow clown goby, the king's concubine Romulus: spiny urchin, the king's mage/advisor, everyone is afraid of him, even the king; rumor has it that he could wipe out the whole tank with gigantic bolts of electricity, but he's never done it because he'd kill himself in the process John Oxford: white narissus snail, the village idiot. Romulus has taken him on as an apprentice John James: John Oxford's brother, another narissus, very intelligent, visiting the kingdom from some far away country Butler: scarlet hermit, a notorious thief, despised by the the rest of the kingdom The Priest: blue leg hermit, has a drinking problem All the rest of the snails are the king's guard, except for the biggest one, Mortimer, who is the captain of the guard and may be having an affair with Jennifer behind the king's back Yep, that's it. There's actually much more to it, but i've typed enough to give everyone the idea. Link to comment
