Male betta: Sparky

Male Krib: George
Female Krib: Martha

Flying Fox: Frank

I have lots of other fish (school of danios, school of lemon tetras, cories, ottos, and others) but no names for them.

In the past, I've had:
male betta: Ed
2 angels: Stars and Stripes
male platy: Willy
2 female platies: Nilly and Tilly
 
We have named only a few of our fish:

Mr. Big the pearl gourami (he was the biggest fish in the tank at the time, but not anymore ;) )

Leo the pleco (I have no idea where that name came from....)

Red a male betta (gee can you guess the kids named him?)

Spunk another male betta (another one of the kids fish...)

The rest I just call Guys or piggies if it's feeding time :D

Hey, new here.
I've an 8" irrie my husband named Noah, he's built like an ark.:rolleyes: Could probably house most of my fish too if he wanted to.:D I had been speaking of him looking more like a whale than a catfish. He still has his beautiful colors with his large gently swishing tail that my clown loach likes to get behind so it can get knocked aroung and play in the currents the irrie creates. It's funny. Maybe I should call the clown Jonah, you know, Jonah & the "whale"!:rolleyes: The irrie even has a spot on top of his head, his soft spot, that's a pale color & is where a blow hole would be. Noah is hand fed by the way & likes to suck my thumb.:eek: :)

Welcome to AC. enjoy, the guys on this forum are out on their own when it comes to giving help,advise or information,no problem is to big or to small.
I hope you get as much enjoyment as i have from AC.
Cheers
 
Out of about 135+ fish, only 1/3 of mine are named.

Most are either names I really like or they are based on personality quirks or other weird things.

I just named my pink tilapia Cecil. C.C. for short because he/she is pink like cotton candy AND if any of you remember C.C. from the 80's band Poison, he wore that color of pink lipstick.

:D ;)
 
Hi Mickey,
Thanks for the welcome. I know you guys give some good advice, I've been reading on this forum since last summer! Finally decided to "open my mouth":) Pardon the pun, but I've "searched world wide web" & found this to be the place I enjoy the most & have learnt the most from. Like everyone else, me & my fishies have been through some tough times, but we made it. All are doing well, thanks to all of you. Like you guys say, search back & read, alot of the answers are already there. Somewhere, someone has already had any problem I am or might face in time to come. I research & read books too, but there is nothing like the good ole "been there, done that" experiences. Momma always said, "keep, quiet & just watch & listen, I might learn something." Always works!

My fish & I say thank you.
Cheers,
Valerie

Nothing wrong with your memory Nippy if you can remember the names of 45 of your fish.
Cheers.
