I renamed my A.modestus "Piglet" (because he eats so much, and "Pooh" (because, well, can't have a Piglet without a Pooh!).

My first GSP (may he rest in peace) was Kismet, after a robot built at some university that was designed to display human emotions. Looked an awful lot like a puffer face!

Second GSP (who did not last long. We didn't know nearly enough about puffs at the time) was Psyche, because she had psychedelic patterns on her back.

Fig8 was named Newton (fig newton...). He lived happily until we had to return him to the store when we moved out of state.

Current irrubesco: Alaska (after Alaska Airlines. Red-eye flights...)

Dwarf Gourami: Norvin
Pygmy Cories: Tall, Grande, and Venti
Bristlenise pleco: Sideshow
Platties: Polly, Penny, and Parcival.
Neons: Neons. Can't tell 'em apart.

I just decided on Bandit because of the markings at my Burrfish's eyes.

the turgidus that I'm bringing home today will probably be called Mr. Tokey.
I also have cichlids
Sir Richard - albino P. pindani
Eli - P. elongatus
Rusty - I. sperengere
Luther McAlroy - Lethrinops sp.
Peachy - P. Zebra (pink morph)

I have, right now, 6 gsps, 3 really really big ones -- Titan, Hercules and Roxie, and 3 small guys -- Gooch, Petra (named after a uni-brow chick I knew cuz this gsp has a unibrow spot), and Quatro (due to four perfectly placed spots down it's back.

I also have had 3 fahakas, Tut, Jezzabell, and Baby

Other names have been Popeye (for a REAL bug eyed gsp), Dot, Sunshine, walrus (this gsp was covered in tiny spots on its face, looked like it stood at a screen door in a walrus!), Diablo, Grandpa, Weiner, and on and on!

I always name my puffers, they all have way too much personality to not name them. Oh yeah, I have a big pleco named Hoover.

I named Tokey Thomas instead. not sure why just seemed to fit.

I think about naming my GSP 'Moby phallus' ( mobi for short:) )

But maybe when i buy him and see him, i think of a more personal name.

A really close friend of mine was looking at my fish, but she has extremely bad vision in low light cases. She thought my Fahaka was actually black and white, not green and red/brown. She named him Oreo, and it kind of stuck

Fahaka = Mr. Puffer (oh-so-creatively named by my toddler)
Peacock bass = Mr. Peacock Bass (ditto)
Cichlid = Mr. Cichlid (ditto again)

Don't worry. All mammalian pets were named by me & have actual names.

GSP's Brutis and sally
Ceylon is Newton

citiusaf215 · Post by **citiusaf215** » Mon Oct 09, 2006 2:37 am

3 GSPs: Gordo, Murphy (Murph for short), and Renny. Gordo being "fat" in spanish and Murphy and Renny being old Irish names meaning "sea warrior" and "small but mighty". And lets not forget BJ the pleco.
