Yeah, what Mickey said. I don't post much but I enjoy the site, especially the forum. I've been helped. (Still don't know what caused this, though* -- see this thread , which includes this photo.) :confused:

Some of our fish have names. The Mickey Mouse platies were Butch & Sundance, but we came home from vacation on Sunday to find half of Butch had been eaten. (Didn't even know he was sick.) Our peppered corydoras have names but I can't remember them right now. I wanted to name one of our clown loaches Ho Chi Minh (because we call them, "heeere, loachy, loachy, loachy" -- sounds like "Ho Chi") then naturally we'd have to call the other one Pol Pot. But my baby, she didn't think that was funny, so the clown loaches are still nameless.

In college I had guppies; two were named named Louis & Clark. A guy in the dorm named a pigeon who visited frequently Walter. :)

Edit
* Just re-read that thread. OrionGirl had some good input, thanks, Orion. And thanks, kveeti, for complementing the camera. Nikon Coolpix 880 digital. Worth every freakin' penny.

Some of my fish are named, others I have named during sleepless nights, only to be forgotten the next day. The ones I remember are
1 betta Rupert Giles
1 queen arabesque pleco Queenie
1 Angelfish Wheezy
(I had two other bettas Sir Galahad and Bruce Lee, but they died a few months ago)
 
:) Of course I name my fish, they keep me company. But I can't tell the difference between my neons, so they are all called Squad A. And my ruddy nosed tetras are called Squad B. In addition to that, they all have secret names, like Alexandra, Kurt and Christian (the last one after my boss:D ), but it's no good using them, as I can't tell the difference between the individuals.
I saw a similar post earlier, so I think that question is redundant, but I just wanted to tell you about my naming practice.
:)
 
Goldfish - Goldie
Betta - Patriot (previous one: Mo' Betta)
Albino Cory - Virginia (her male counterpart was Albee, who apparently never had a significant female in his life)
Julii Cory - Julie
Ambiacus Cory - Amber, but since she's a he, I think Polyphemus is appropo for a cyclopic cory...
Otto - Methuselah
 
I had names for all my bettas when I was younger. I had Wally (my first and most beloved betta), then Red and Angel and Temagami :) The many goldfish that followed had a variety of names from Alex to Dolly and just plain Comet.

I'm down to only four fish now, 3 neons (just referred to as the neons) and my kissing gourami that I've had for years. He's not perfect but I love him nonetheless. He's fondly referred to as Pinky :D
 
My Pleco is Bob... my female guppy is Momma Peaches (shes about 2 inches long... amazing for a guppy!) and her husband is Patches...because somehow he has gotten chewed ( i blame momma)
