I don't name my fish and never understood why anyone would.. but am curious about how prevalent such a thing might be..

I only have a few of mine named, generally they are the larger fishes, my bichirs, jack dempsey, and my lone angelfish (in order: Nessie, Po, Maximinus, & Spike). The little guys, like tetras, barbs, rasboras, and rams, don't get named... probably this is because I can't easily tell them apart and as schooling fish they seem to lack individual personality.

My halfmoon pla kat betta's name is Fritz. I have a crayfish named Louie. The shrimp, cories, and endlers are too many to name.

I put not sure, not because I am not sure if I name my fish or not, but because it was the only thing other than yes or no. All the fish in the house are mine, but my wife has names for our gold fish and bettas, but not any other the others. Personally I call my otos, 'oto', bettas 'betta' and everything else 'fishy'. I don't know if I would consider those names or not, so actually, not sure probably was the best choice after all.

I'm with you on this one. If it's merely for identification purposes then "that one to the left of the one in the center" is perfectly fine for me. It's like most cats that have been in my life... they simply don't come when I call them. So, why name them? *shrugs* I just call them "cat."

Grady <- I usually answer to my name, or at least stare at you.

If you have kids, then the fish have names.

I voted yes, because like Raven, I name some of my bigger unique fish. If I tried to name every fish in the house, I'd run out of names with all of the schools of little fish and fry...

I recently bought a pair of Angels who I named Will and Grace, just because they looked like a Will and Grace to me... I also have a little Perc clown in my salt tank who is going to get a name because he's the only fish in the tank. I'm thinking Jeeves, but I haven't decided for sure yet.

I used to have a huge 17 year old common Plec who was named Moses by friends because when he swam through he parted the water, so to speak.

We do not name, but definitely know some of them and follow their habits and behaviour

I have a fish that reacts like he knows his name. We can be in the room talking and even looking at him, but when we say his name he responds. Would be odd to have a fish that inteligent without a name.
