haha...I named two of my tetras 'lunch and dinner'...sadly they didn't get their names until they fell victim to my GKF :(

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.

Just named my little Fahaka. Maximus
