I currently have:

Freddy the purple betta - no, not 'Freddy Fish', he's named Freddy because he's bright, flamboyant, and should have been a Queen... (geddit?)

Hoover the Hoplo Catfish - cause thats what he looks like when food is around

Gary the Golden Apple Snail - I have two toddlers, need I say more?

I have named my Pleco Freddy, he just looks like a freddy.

TK is my big male Kribensis, Butters is my medium sized Krib, and Taylor is the small Krib. The girls have not been named yet, as I can't tell them apart.

Vincent and Duncan were guppies, they were sold.

Scott and Heidi were my first two bristlenose. Both died after 6 days. Doug was my first adult male bristlenose. He was put to sleep after a very nasty infection caused by rubbing against some rocks.

Murray and Jesse are my current breeding pair of bristlenose. Jesse was with Doug but nothing happened until Murray showed up.

Blue is the big blue/opaline gourami. Spot, and Tiger are the names of my platinum gourami. Flo passed away from being egg-bound (Tiger you lazy ....)

Simon was our siamese fighter, but hexamita got him early on.

Wow, this is depressing.

I get attached to my fish, even if I don't name them.

Not all our fish have names...but a select few

7cm Bristlenose Pleco named Herman (not sure why, referred to him a Herman when we got him and it stuck)

2 smaller Bristlenose's name Shredder and Splinter

German Blue Rams named Rambo and Thumberlina

Neon Tetra named Gill - he lost his gill cover somehow

Golden Barb name Munter - he's an ugly guy, face seems to be on skew

Golden Barb named Big Mumma - she was pregnant and fat for a long long time before she released her eggs.

Rosy Tetra named Big Boss - he our biggest and oldest guy, one of our firsts along with Herman. Still rules the Rosy roost

We had a really ugly Rosy Tetra with one eye (received her that way) named Quasimodo, she has since passed.

my clown knife is called Ba'al because, if you catch him in the right light, his eyes glow

my son named his angel Anubis (unfortunately he passed away a few weeks ago and his replacement hasn't been named yet)

the axy is named Kree:

OMG I had an Angel I named Anubis who passed away! &c:ry

WARNING DO NOT NAME ANGELS ANUBIS!
