When you first purchased your pet fish, there are long list of things to do like making sure it can adjust well to new aquarium environment, observing whether it can get along well with other tank mates and doing other things like studying its feeding habit. But one of the most exciting part is also choosing the right name which you can easily remember and best describe its behavior.

Listed below are some of the names which I’ve categorized based on different coldwater and tropical fish species and the fish names are selected with considerations put in mind based on your pet fish characteristics like aggressive temperament, docile behavior and whatever best describe it. Whether it is meant to be funny, comical, cute, silly, adorable, all the names have been carefully thought of for your special pets and it’s up to you to choose.
