Today Lily got her Christmas fishies. Because it's a small tank, she's limited to 1 goldfish or 4 minnows, plus a butterfly plecostomus (awfully pretty name for a rock-like, scum-sucking catfish thingie). Today we got the minnows. We'll have to wait a month or two for the plecostomus so we can build up some scum.
Much fun was had deciding what to name the minnows. I liked the idea of Ip, Dip, Sky, and Blue (sort of a Brit eenie, meenie, minie, mo), but Lily didn't. Now, three shall be named Rainbow Shark, Sallerina, and Ella. And one is Minnow To Be Named Later, I suppose.
Myself, I like a collective name for the fish. And so, I shall call them Jane. Jane Austen.

Good luck with the little fishies. They sure are cute.
I very rarely name our fishies... except the plecos, who tend to get vacuum cleaner names. We've had hoover, kirby, sucky, J Edgar (because hoover had been taken), and I don't even remember the others. I think the next one will be Dyson.
