haha...I named two of my tetras 'lunch and dinner'...sadly they didn't get their names until they fell victim to my GKFYBeNormal wrote:I don't name my fish either--but my 13-year old daughter sure does! She even tries to name the feeder ghost shrimp when I bring them into the house. I suggest Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner as names for the shrimp, but she never agrees with me.

Re: What's your puffer's name?
I don't name fish but I do call my mature male DP "Tough Guy". You know, as in, "settle down there tough guy". He bolts around the tank with his chest out and arms flexed and to the side (so to speak) like a tough guy.
My favorite name is the member here that has the figure eight named Feight. I'd steal the name if I didn't start posting here. huhhhh!

There are many knowledgeable fish keepers on this forum willing to help and give great advice...The advice is free; What you choose to do with it gives it value.

Re: What's your puffer's name?

Re: What's your puffer's name?
Just named my little Fahaka. Maximus
I have a Cichlid tank but most of them are yellow because they keep breeding and the others died off
there are far too many to name.....20+ at last count.

Re: What's your puffer's name?
My M.Palembang`s name is "Rotor" and my GSP name is "Lucky" , we gave her the name because she/he was the last soul survivor of 3 gsp we bought got who was in real bad condition... only Lucky survived...well she was the lucky one
