new fish nickname? (hope not!)

[Zerc]

So my wife thinks the fish i got from madness this past weekend are pretty funny. Or at least that their name sounds pretty funny.

her latest FB update:

"I love watching our hoogaboogadoos interact with our puffer. Such ferocity in itty bitty bodies."

 

[Madness]

That's hilarious!!!!

We have a few with names around the house, there is a Betty & Barney (dark marble veil angels) Jaws & Lil Woman (dark marble standards) Missy (H.Temparalis) MuffMan (Christmas fulus) Richard Cranium (yeah read between the lines on that one sp.44 red fin) plus a few others

Personal favorite that came up over a misspell Lateacara Buckelkopfs get referred to as Bucketdorks

Oh my, is that a butchering of a scientific name (something I am truly gifted at) or just a random nickname?

 

[sandnuka]

pretty sure she butchered the scientific name.... Thats a cool way to remember scientific names, create nicknames from them.... good thinking!

How about this one, (Apistogramma cacatuoides) asparagus ka-ka-toodles.... :study:

hoogaboogadoos
hogaboomorum

Its really clear that the first one is the plural form used to describe a group of them. Where as the second is in the singular to describe just one.

:laughhard:

its a new plural!

 

[DMD123]

Now apply that logic to your other fish and see what you come up with.

 

[Zerc]

one male convict is enough, two would be a terrible idea!

 

[DMD123]

Your convict is psycho!

 

[Zerc]

He's in your tank right now, eating your oscars.

 

[DMD123]

Nope. No mistaking your con with that giant hump head.
