Poll: Help me name my dragon goby....

Post by mrgreen »

I started another thread here called "Can I keep anybody else with my F8s..." and then decided to get my dragon goby.

Here's a picture of him.

I need help naming him. Since he's a grouchy old man, I found several names from the early 1900's. :D Please vote!

Vernon is my first choice (Harry Potter's uncle), with Cecil (Cecil Vise, "Room with a View") as a close second.
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

I've got Harry Potter on the brain 'cause I watched the (not so great) Half-Blood Prince movie last night, so I vote:

Uncle Vernon

I just put in about half a teaspoon of newly-hatched brine shrimp. It looks like its snowing! My F8 is just saying "Where is my real food?" but the dragon goby is sucking down water like there's no tomorrow, eating the shrimp. :) I'm soaking mussel for the F8 and algea wafers for the goby in selcon vitamins before I give them their real meal. ETA: That worked well- soaking them w/o water, just vitamins. frozen mussel cube sank down and didn't fall apart, same with the wafers. Now I see that my F8 has found the cube and is going after it like crazy. :D

So far, it seems like Vernon is winning. Wish there were more votes, though.

Herman: It sounds kinda grumpy-like but with a soft spot to me. So it fits dragon gobies pretty well. They look like terrors but are actually like puppy dogs.
