I have a telescope who lost an eye, which we call "Lookie". My big Oranda
is called "Mac". I also have 3 ryukins, "Sam", "Maple" and "Angel". I have
3 new fish, all oranda's - a chocolate and 2 calico's, but I haven't named
them yet. I like to get to know them first and see what sticks. I was
leaning towards Coco for the Chocolate, but it's too obvious. Once they're
out of the Q tank and in with the others, it will be easier to see their
personality.

I want to spawn the Oranda's, but naming them does create attachments. My
daughter named our first 2 fish - Abbah and Ouda. Hey, she was only 7
months old at the time! LOL. Neither one made it, however, since her
mother didn't know about overstocking at the time - and the LFS told me it
was ok to put 7 fish in a 5g tank for a week while the 10g cycled! I was
lucky I didn't loose them all. Mac came out of that ordeal, but he was the
only one, and he was the biggest. Odd...
