Title: Naming my lone male endler

My smaller male died today (bigger male bullied it) and with only one I think a naming contest is in order ::)

Good luck!

Sorry to hear about your small male endler.  :(

As for naming the other one, I suggest Han Solo.

On Monday I will put the names in a RNG to get the result... Littlefish, do you like Star wars?

Or Napoleon Solo after a character in the 1860's TV programme The Man From Uncle.


Didn't they make a film of that in recent years? Ah yes, google tells me it was in 2015.

If he's not going to have female company perhaps he should be called Unlucky.  ;D

Hey Colin! Long time, no see  :)

The Lone Endler - rhymes with The Lone Ranger and has a "strong character" feel to the name.

Alternatively, how about its scientific name Poecilia wingei?

Yo Sue. 'Tis true.... and a bit of a long story that involves a very stressful house move that we're doing our best to forget...... and a dog. More elsewhere as I get round to it.

Apache, I notice that one of the suggestions here has got 2 'likes'. That's probably a fair way to choose the winning name ie the one which has the most 'likes'. Do you agree?

I vote for Mr Splashy Pants.
That's an amazing name for a fish.  ;D

How about Eddie the Endler?
Does he have any markings that particularly stand out? That might make naming him easier.

to be fair... i think randomising is best so the results in about 5 mins naming closed O:-)
