What is the name of your fish? And why did you name it that?

Ok this is a good one. My best friend mom setup a FW tank when Clinton was still president. She bought a couple of small cichlids, (I cant remember what they were exactly). She was a huge Clinton supported so she named them Hillary and Bill. Hillary killed off Bill in a matter of a few weeks. She continued to "replace" Bill and everytime the result was the same. Im not sure how many fish were killed as a result of Hillary, but it was a lot. They even attempted a couple of large Oscars thinking the size and aggressiveness would keep them safe. To this day, anytime any one of us has a fish that is a notorious killer it gets dubbed the "Hillary" fish. It still drives his mom nuts.

I only have one fish that has a name. Thae would be my Blue Hippo tang called Timex. Here is why It is the only survivor I have of my orignal tank the one I moved from Wisconsin in the middle of Winter in 2005 and has survived a heater sticking on and sending my tank to 95 degrees multiple moves I am up to I think 7 now jumped out of the tank one time a 24 hour power failure in the middle of winter last year and my son dumping 1 lb of food into the tank all at once. See why it has that name.

Here are a few quick names from my house.
Impy..... Female emperor angel (largest fish in tank at 3.5 inches and just starting to change colors)
Beardslee.... Blk saddleback clownfish. With the yellow on his face he looks like he needs a shave.
Wedgie.... coral beauty angelfish... The morning after coming out of quarantine and going into the display tank we couldnt find him..... he wedgied himself between a rock and the glass and couldnt get free. All you could see was his lips and he was stuck upside down. Scuffed himself up a bit but is doing fine otherwise
