My daughter, who is 17 has a 20 gallon fish tank in her room, she has 2 Kissing Gouramis, 2 angel fish and 2 plecostomuses (algae eaters.)
She named the bigger Gourami "Pickles", the little one "Relish", the black and white striped angel "Zombie" , the orange and white angel, "Beauty", the BIG plecostomus "Beast" and the little one "Roach"
If three of them formed a band they would be "Zombie and the Condiments" and "Beauty and the Beast featuring Roach" 
Any strange, weird, odd or different names you have named your fish (or other pets) that are out of the ordinary for their species?

I have 9 aquariums set up and running with plans on setting up a few more. I try to get my fish to breed for me so trying to name them would be like naming ever ant in an ant hill. Plus I have never seen a fish come when called since your voice does not travel into the water. You can train them to come by giving then certain signals though.

I had a cat once that I named Ishkabibble, after a band leader that my grandpa liked way back in the 1920's. I also once had a piranha named Karloff, after my favorite actor of the time, Boris Karloff.
Your daughter is good at naming her pets!

My naming pets odd names probably started with a guenia pig I had as a child which I called SoupySales.
I have also had fish and a frog which I named...
I at present have no pets.

Well my hubby hates what i named our shark.......Rainbow Brite it is a small shark with red fins and well I just liked the name and of course him being a man he hates it. We had to bottom feeders named Bonnie and Clyde but we lost Bonnie so now its just Clyde. Same with our dragon fish they were Dr.Jekyle and Mr.Hyde but we lost Dr.Jeklyle.

The first fish I had (when I was in second grade) it was a multi colored fish that I named funny - I think it was because it swam in circles or something.
Then I got about 5 or 6 more fish at the same time and they were the same kind and I didnt bother naming them because it would be pointless.
