Do You Name Your Fish?

You know you in kak when you remember your fish's name and forget your wife's name!

 

A famous boxer from the 1920s

 

Hahaha unlucky...

 

Hey! Shibby! Quit teasing now! I've been watching this thread all day, waiting for you to tell! WHAT is Jack? (no obscure hints!!!)

 

I named my black ghost knife ghostie.My black moor is Killer f 7 and my albino gouramis name is pinkie

 

Hahaha... Jack is a Jack Dempsey (Rocio octofasciata)

 

*ahem* *blush* No, no...Never! Well not me personally you understand, more like.. um... it's my daughter who names my fish. I just go along with her ideas.

BTW, before some wiseguy asks - Yes, I did name my daughter. Her name is Carol.

 

ek noem myne "een" en "twee", want as "een" dood gaan, het ek darm nog "twee", hahahahaha

 

YES - I do - I mean I did - my first batch - but then after watching a guppy mother give birth I realized that not even a chronological numbering system was sustainable.

Lol - Rory ... the only BOB I have is a Body Opponent Bag - his name is Igor.

Naming fish is like naming the peas in your vegetable garden - sounds like a good idea until you need to eat them. - what you have never done that?

Like whaaaat???

 

For some reason naming fish has been bad juju in our house. We used to have a pond with a couple of small fish that the cat thought were bought exclusively for her to eat. I think the third batch I said I'm not naming these they will be gone tomorrow and lo and behold they survived after a week I named them and the cat chowed them since then no fish has been named in our household

 

Hi Guys,

Well i must confess i name only 2 of my fish, my clown loaches they are about 8cm and i have them for about 2 years now. The biggest one is called Buttons and the smaller one is called flash....

 

"Like whaaaat???" lol .... the peas not the fish - well not till I can get some aquaponics going hehe. Then again not sure about the canned, fried moonloght gourami concept. - Still don't give them a name.

Just name one of your fish Roxy and you should be ok

 

Imagine having a show tank with 30+ neon or cardinals in there and giving each one a name

neo001
neo002
neo003
neo004
neo005
neo006
neo007 (this one will probably think he is a British Agent)
neo008
etc....

 

Hi Ace007, neo008 will probably think he is THE ONE!!!!

 

Not anymore. We named the first few fish we got & then as MTS set in, it was just too much to keep track.

We give Japanese honourifics to the fish we love the most & those ones who have been around for a long time. Our 4 year old common pleco is called Pleco-san. He's getting so big we'll have to call him Pleco-sama soon.

When we lived somewhere else, we used to have 2 large unmentionables called Papa & Mama Smurf (although I never verified their genders). They were very cool and deserving of names. I know a guy on an American forum who names all his small unmentionables...he has about 500 in various tanks. I think he is one of those crazy basement dweller types.

 

Haha we ARE weird. Have had the same discus and spiny eel for a few years so they most certainly have names. I have a carnivorous plant and he has a name too. Weird, see?

 

No, but I won't name a bunch of neon tetras..

What fish did you get?

 

I also used to call them Fish1, fish2, fish3......etc, until I could not tell the difference between fish 3047 and fish 4011..... Nah!!.... I've never named a fish.
