Puffer Names.. what are yours?

Post by Porffor »

Wondered what your puffers are called, or previously loved puffers...
am feeling the crunch when it comes to naming my two DP's and want to avoid the nicknames I have given them so far of spot and stripe! :shock: yes not original but one has a spot on it's side the other has a stripe...
:?
Thanks, Jane

Well I've got a few puffers and have them all named except my irrubesco redeye puffers and my dwarf puffers, and that's because I have 5 of the irrubesco, and more than 10 of the dwarf puffers, so it would be really difficult to name them, and remember who they are.
But here are a few of my other puffers names:
(small) Congo - Biscuit
(large) Congo - Orangey
Abei - Hymie
Abei - Byron
Ceylons - Yorkie, Pudgie and Baby Blip
Turgidus - Louie
Cutcutias - Ned & Ted
GSP's - Ying & Yang
Mbu - BeeBoo
Fahaka - Obie
Suvattii - Fred
Baileyi - Babs
Nefastus - Oscar
Bornean Redeye - Felix
Salivator - Mr Stripey
Palembang - Tooie

i have:
fahaka: "Kukah" which means crab in tongan since he loves them
4x Dp: only one has a name her name is "Sicky" cause she was very small and sickly looking when i got her.
Fresh Water Flounder: "Ariel"
Red Devil Cichlid: "Dozer"

if i ever got another fahaka, id name it "Cairo", after cairo, egypt since they are from the nile and it runs through it.
if i ever got a congo, id name it "Zaire" since the congo river runs through it.
