Do you name your fish? I do its just nice to be able to refer to them by name rather than that guppy.
I have
2 honey coloured Goramis called marmlade and bob
1 CAE called suckey

I know that a cae is not a good beginners fish however I did not know what one was at that time...

I always name my goldfish, however I've only been able to tag a name on a handful of my guppies. It's difficult to keep track of them when you have them in large numbers. My sister and I are slowly naming all of them though.

We try to only give them names that suit them, so we will watch them for a while before a name comes to us. (:

I'm a firm believer in the "as soon as you name your fish it'll die" group. xp

Happend to me once too, I brought home a fish and it was doing well for many weeks. Then my sister comes in and asks if they have names, I say no, she names em, a week later they die. gonk
Perfectly healthy fish until they were named.

Whenever I name small fish they die. ._.
I always yell LOACHIE LOOOOOOO whenever I see my loach though. I'm tempted to name the frog Boosh, after my first frog, Booshlavegan.
