Awww, Flubber! I think I'll have to change the name of my walrus, too (yes, I have a walrus).

Nice! Do you feed him mollusks or human food? Mine only eats California rolls and select species mushrooms sautéed in rapeseed oil.

I'm afraid mine is still in the basement after my last move.

You could add Adler or Hudson.

So @ProfuselyQuarky has ##7## fish. What are some good names if we want the seven names to follow the same theme?
Noooo! Don't follow a theme. Name them according to their personalities! Would you name your children following a theme?? :eek: :biggrin:

(BTW, what kinds of fish are they? I haven't been following all the threads here.)

Of course, some species of fish are pretty quite boring and don't radiate any personality. But I had red-tail shark I called "Boris", a pink-tail shark called "George", a Jack Dempsey called (what else) "Jack", and a mated pair of ferocious little white cichlids called "Mr+Mrs Jones". :oldwink:

Can you just call them One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven ? People in my area call their kids so too in my native language. Most other names will be limited sooner or later whereas numbers are always limitless. Let us know when your child of Infinity is born.

Oops, miss counted. Add Hudson, then. Adler is creepy.

It's awful hard to figure out the personalities of fish :woot: In regards to naming children following a theme, I know someone who has five sons and they all start with the letter "A". That's a theme, right? :wink:

They are Platies--they come in a huge variety of colors, especially if you cross breed them. They can get up to 3 or four inches, which is big enough for me. I have a walrus, too, remember?

But that's boring, isn't it? I get so bored I have to change their names on a monthly basis. Convert that to binary and you might have something neat, though :biggrin:

In my area there are couples giving birth to so many children that they even forget or misuse their names. Anyway I keep thinking it might not be necessary at all to change your kids names all the time, provided that Evo and other moderators can't distinguish them, everything is going to be alright. :biggrin: Any dust-counter ?

Bronze fish, pink fish, grey fish, blue fish.
Some as bright as Android green, Some as active as fluorine.
This one has a respirator.
This one has a calculator.
Say! Can fish on PF be moderators?
Yes. Some are pink. And some are grey.
Some play fallout. And croquet.
And some fish dance to roots reggae.

Oh -- like "swordtails" but without the sword. Imho, that species is a personality-free zone. If you had some cichlids, you'd see what I mean by personality. :oldbiggrin:

Of course, the cichlids would probably eat the other fish, or at least give them frequent nips on their tails.
