Sometimes you have to call 'em how you see 'em.
Breeding pairs! They always want to defy you! I wonder if it is possible to choke a fish out? Mine have decided to develop personalities. (Not really. I am not that insane!) It is more like behaviors, so I have decided to actually put a name to some of my fish.
The Yellow Diamonds
Female (on the left)
Name
Barracuda (Stick your arm anywhere around her cone whether there are eggs on it or not and draw back a stump)
Male
Lazy Fat B$%#*&d (Too lazy to swim all the way up the cone where the female lays her eggs so he only fertilizes the very bottom egg. THE VERY BOTTOM)

The SS
Female (R)
Mr. and Mrs. Abstainer (No need for an explanation on that. They are boycotting the cone. Do you think they know I culled their last spawn and they are holding a grudge?)

CuriX (F right) and LETi
Female
Name: Gidget (Always excitable)
Male:
Name: The Voyeur (Though he has had one spawn of 150 fry, he now just cleans the cone and watches the females spawn and then watches over the unfertilized eggs.)

T-Aqua Red Turq (Old German)
Male
Name: Anytime Anyplace Anywhere (as long as it is with you baby)
Female (in the foreground)
Name: The Tramp (We have all seen the video of her spawning with two males. And yesterday I switched out the confirmed, but low fry count male with the proven male around 7 AM. She was spawning at 6 PM)

And this was when I got home last night.

Do I name my fish? I do now.

Great names and fun source of entertainment ;)
Re: Sometimes you have to call 'em how you see 'em.
I love this thread Mishka! Made my day!!
Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday. :D
Re: Sometimes you have to call 'em how you see 'em.
The names well fit the fish. You may have started something here! Glad to see the Watanabe pair spawning again.
Re: Sometimes you have to call 'em how you see 'em.
Mishka dont they say that the pets resemble the owner???? Hmmmm I wonder which one of your fish resembles you.

And here I was thinking Barracuda.... ;)
Re: Sometimes you have to call 'em how you see 'em.
ROFLMAO. I would take offense to that Chad if it weren't also kinda true. I do not guard a cone, but if you touch my Funyons, I will cut you.

Re: Sometimes you have to call 'em how you see 'em.
Very funny Mishka. Fish, with attitude!
Beatiful pairs none the less.
Re: Sometimes you have to call 'em how you see 'em.
Yes Jeff they certainly do and thank you.

Re: Sometimes you have to call 'em how you see 'em.
Very funny indeed. Love the pairs though. For the lazy male may be give him the blue pill :D

Thanks Poco. If they had it for fish I would give it. I am feeding him ProMore by the cup full.
