The Puffer Forum

Well no sweet and cuddly names here folks.
My Fahaka Puffer is called 'Killer'
Simply because he's probably the most ferocious thing i have ever seen on fins.

FEED ME, Seymour!

I don't tend to name fish, but my girlfriend likes to. Too bad we've been getting fish faster lately than she can name 'em. You can't think up a name, you see; it just has to come to you.

Of our 5 dwarfs only one has a name so far: Oscar 'cuz he's a grouch.

We've got a
longnose gar named Cyrano,
an over-fed ornate bichir named Brando,
a few bala sharks named Adam and Frank after the brothers who gave us the tank from their basement,
A red-tail shark that's mean to Adam named Erin (after a girl...),
and A BN pleco named Lennon 'cuz his face looks like a surlaW.

I do usually name my reptiles, though.

I have an Argentine Boa named Supai (the Incan god of the underworld) and his girlfriend who strangely is still nameless and usually goes by "the female." I also have 2 Colorado river toads name Little Man Super Trooper and Bessy "The wonder toad."

Well there is actually to many to name in the tropical
so I will leave it at that.

Hi all ......... new here!!

I have 2 ceylon's named Budgie (after the little blue helicopter)
and Elton ('cos he's chubby!!)

hehe, cute names. Welcome Ceylon!

My 3 puffs are Larry, Curly & Moe. Larry is the leader of the pack and is always the first one to the food. Curly has a little curly line right by his eyes and he's the second one to the food. Moe is the dumb one of the three, he's normally a few minutes behind when it's feeding time. The other two will be chowing down on a mussle and he's still swimming along the glass looking at me

Hubby named me betta 'blue' which is original because, well, you guessed it, he's blue!

I have a porcupine puffer named Hootie

I have 2 Figure Eights Puffers named Snub and Dub
I also have 2 Leopard Puffers named Emerald and Nasty(cause he always tries to eat poo)

My GSP is named puppy

I don't name my fish, but if I did, I'd call my A. modestus "Puffy". Then I'd probably change its name to "P. Diddy". Then maybe just change its name every day.

Sorry, stupid joke.

I had a puffer named puffpuff It was a lined one (yes I know VERY helpful in identification)

We finally got our first D. Holocanthus after a year of reading and researching trying to figure out as much about them as humanly possible. We have had it for 2 weeks now and finally decided to name it "Kai" since it wasn't a gender specific name. It is Hawaiian for "Sea"It is already spitting at us.Frank & Shirley

The F8 that I had for a little while was named Crazy-8 a fitting name for her, but I had to bring her back to the LFS because of her madness....however I recently did aquire two adorable GSP's...Turbo and Bibi....I love them, and they love food, they eat krill straight from my hand.
