Squiggy. Why? Because you'll sound like an idiot talking to him when your friends are over to the house. Laughing

^^ Along the same lines:

Fishy

Cos you'll be less of a plonker saying "Here Fishy" when trying to talk to him. Laughing

Does it really matter? I have 3 tanks (20 community, 30 African Cichlids and a 150 Central/African mixed), and not a damn one of them come when you call.

Kinda like a cat...

Appropriate, huh?

@Luckey your tank pH must be off. Laughing

They need neutral to slightly acidic water. Acidic is better.

I don't think it was the PH. Two were gang violence, one was suicide, and one simply vanished. I need a good social worker fish, and maybe an exorcist. Confused

I liked Betta Juice.

Ok - what about "Hey You!".

I have all my fish trained. I keep their food in a cabinet under the tank and let the door slam shut when I get it out. I then show them the bright yellow and orange German food container. They steam to the spot that I always feed them. When I have guests over for the first time, I hold the bright can and a generic up to the tank and ask the fish which one they would rather have. They always chose the Tetra Min brand since I hold it in the same spot everytime. I then call the cats for my chair to chair demonstration. Fish are easier to train than lads.

Yeah, but nobody has been able to flush a Lad down the crapper when you're done with him, yet..

You can't put two Betas together Luckey. Rolling Eyes

It was an experiment wasn't it, I know what you were doing... Wink

What other fish do you have in there with them? Jaws???
The smart one jumped out rather than to be eaten alive and the one that vanished was eaten alive.

Sounds to me like you have some aggressive territorial fish in there.
Piranha, Oscar cichlids, goldfish with a bad attitude that knows karate?

I had one of these once that thoroughly enjoyed eating my beta in the night. He was supposed to eat tubifex worms not my lovely male beta. Evil or Very Mad

Apteronotus albifrons
Black Ghost Knife Fish

BattleHawk77 I hope you have a friendly and loving community tank.
Luckey and I have had issues with ours. Laughing

^^^By the time you get finished calling him for breakfast, it will be time for dinner.

Call him Eric, though that's usually only for an halibut when it comes to fish. Do you have a licence for him?

Slap, that toilet looks too sanitary for him.....

And....one more reason to close the lid when you're not using it.

You never know what may crawl out.....

I think Anchor is a nice name....Anchor S. Way

I finally picked a name that reflects his personality: Alpha.
