one thousand, five hundred, and sixty-two...
I've said it before, I'll say it again...
I named my fish so that when I want to refer to one, it's quicker and easier. Like "Hershey", instead of that chocolate chip star...
And I have an awesome unidentifiable snail that I just call "lips" cause that's what he looks like on the glass. Didn't name them all though. And nobody out there doesn't refer to their perc. as "Nemo" to newcomers!!

I'm going to stop naming my marine critters. It just makes it sadder when one of them dies! Like my poor eel Milton, who was eaten by one of my other eels, Golum. I actually got attached. Stupid, I know.

Mr. Crabs- the arrow crab
Girgle- the goby
Bubbles- The tang (How original :rolleyes: )
Patric- The brittle star
Thats the one thing I dont like about going into the lfs, theres always someone there to say, "Look its Nemo". That drives me insane

Oh well, let them have their fun. I was probably like that a fewyears ago too.

That's not stupid! I get so attatched to my fish. It was really hard for me to get rid of my velvet damsel when he started getting mean, because he was about 3 inches and I had him since he was hardly an inch.
And I cried when my fuzzy dwarf lion died. He was so awesome.

Of course I name them - and when I moved and had to get rid of them, I interviewed the guy who was buying them. He sent me emails telling me how they are doing . . . sigh, I still miss Ursula and Ching
