    Who names their fish here? I tend to call my fish by their comon names with male, female, big or small in front of it to distinguish them.

    I'm not a big namer either, the cutest I get is "that purple guy" or "the little blue guy" when showing them to other people. :)

    My fiancee's 6 year old daughter loves to name everything I add into the tank. Our yellow tangs name is sunny, I have an orange brittle star named rocky to name a few.

    Guilty here. My son names everything we put in. I try to get him to use the real name along with his. For example Pete the Pajama Cardinal, George the Green Chromis and so on. Some are names after characters in the movie Nemo as well.

    Guilty as charged. And even worse, Finding Nemo themed :party-smi
    Though, my ex is to blame for the theme. Even the CUC was individually named.

    But right now I have:
    Coral and Marlin (the clown pair)
    Dori (hippo)
    and that is all that remains of that. This is all my responsibility as follows:

    Optimus Prime (starry blenny)
    Sacrificial Damsel (yellow tailed damsel)
    Tweak (firefish)
    Sunny (chromis)
    Buddy (copperband)
