I haven't named any of my fish, though my flatmates have named some over the years:

group of glass catfish = 'the grannies' since they thought they looked like a group of grannies all nattering away

the Malabar/dwarf puffer (deceased) = 'Julie' because it reminded him of a previous flatmate i.e. vicious and trying to appear bigger than it really was.

I used to name all my fish but after a few deaths years ago they just get called whatever they are. We have oscar, syno and our clown knife is Knifee. Years ago when we had an arowana my partner wanted to call him Marowana, I soon put a stop to that.

Hey Rob, haven't seen you on here for ages!!

Do you still have your sajica/T-bar cichlids??? I've been trying to track some down for ages.

Sorry for the sidetrack!

i havent name the tropicals but my g/f named the goldfish

big black moor- bubble eye bill

bubbleeyes gf (deceased) - willemeana

other goldfish names- garyglitter, moe, morange and i forget the last two

axies -beteljuice(white1) , mudvayne(black 1)

only 1 frog has a nickname (i have 2) its houdini as he has escaped a few times

@ David R

Unfortunately I don't have sajicas anymore - there may be some lurking in the Hawkes Bay - I'd provided Warren with some, which were apparently breeding like crazy. Don't think Warren's got any tanks going at the moment but I assume he must have passed the fish on to other people down/over there.

Bichir-Berty

Oscar-Oscar (what else?)

Texas Blue- Tex

Big Male Ancistrus-Daddy

Biggest Fmale Ancistrus-mummy

Haven't named the others they are just what ever type they are

Swayback sam (banana shaped zebra danio)

Fu man Chu Flame zebra danio (has a wee moustache)

Mr and Mrs T Blue rams (I pity the fool that don't feed me!)

Randy and Earl Golden rams (From My name is Earl)

Marcelos Male Bristlenose ( from Pulp fiction)

Mamacita Female bristlenose (shes the mama!)

Sugar Ray Female GBA (shes a fighter (and the best algae eater in the tank))

Rudolph 1-6 Rummies (I love rummies! (my wife calls them the cartoon acme bombs :D ))

OK I'm deluded. So sue me....
