AHM BACK! With more names that I didn't shove in, since I got my last loach :lol:
I named my latest loach, a weather loach, Double D. Mainly that's short for double decker because he really is a double decker loach :lol: He is one HUGE weather loach and is definitely big enough to make two O_O

I'm kind of famous for weird names for my fish. Tanooki is very famous but he actually got his name because he was my first fish in my new tank, and I thought he was very cute. My favorite (and cutest!) suit in Mario 3 is the Tanooki suit :oops: I'm not a gamer or anything...

Then there's Vyvie And Thurstin, my angelfish- who live with a female beta, who likes to own the bottom, her name is Roxie- and a Dwarf Gourami named Yazz Flute :lol:

My two Pictus Cats, Mollie and Scalliwag (got that name for easily being sugar and energy with fins in the tank) and my pleaco is named Mister D, because he looks very bad and mean. But he's quite friendly. :wink:
3 Dojos: Indie J, Sir Loin, Double D
1 Pictus: Mollie
---
1 Red Fin: Tanooki
3 Clowns: Lewellyn, Alfie, Luigi
3 Kuhli's: Jasper, Heckle, Jeckle
---
1 Dwarf Gourami: Yazz-Flute
2 Angelfish: Thurstin, Genyevive (Vyvi)

hehe that reminded me I call my husbands pleco Mr Freaky Fish, if that counts for a name. the dude is massive, but spends most his time on the front of the glass, right now he's completly upside down wagging his tail. lol

* Edited: Missed out a bit of text, he normally doesn't tail wag lol, just every now and then to freak me out :D

My runt loach seems to have a more vivid colour also, odd as youd think theyd be the dullest.
thsi is stumpy the leader and biggest he also has a green tinge in some lights lol
