I Need FOUR Names!

Yes; I've done it. I got four new girls.... :) I cleaned, scrubbed, and cleaned again until the 20 and the 5.5 were sparkly clean, then I divided the 5.5 & moved Marmalade & Ringo to each side, moved Daichi to the 1G QT, and added the five girls (Unnamed & Tsuki) to the tank. They are all CT except for Tsuki. Until I can get my stupid camera, I need names for the following four... :)

1. (Mojo?) Orange Cambodian CT. I don't see her out much; I think she's lower on the chain.
2. (Nami?) Pink/Red/Unknown Color Marble CT. She's claimed the floating plants in the middle of the tank.
3. (Nobia?) Multicolor CT. Reminds me of Candy from the Original Sorority.
4. (Kaida?) Platinum Marble CT. Feisty! I dropped a drop of Prime in the hole in the lid of her cup, and she repeatedly jumped out of the water to bite the hole... Only stopped when I fed her LOL.

There's been some nipping & tail slapping & flaring, but so far nobody's got hurt. It helps that one of the Mollies thinks he's important and will butt in everywhere. The LBD's, the Pygmies, and the Bettas.

I love Japanese names. I want either Japanese or really cutesy-childy names. :) Name away! :D

As I said, pictures as soon as I can get camera to work LOL. I put four possible names in front of the girls. What do you think?

Lately I've been picking names of various gemstones, but the other thing I like to do is pick obscure book characters from my favorite series.

Another thing that's worked well for me is picking a simple word that describes them like "water" or "feisty" and then running it through Google Translate in various languages until I find something that sounds good.

The first name that popped into my head looking at the pic was Gypsy.

Hmmmm. I'll see. I think the only one that actually has a name is her; of the four names I found, Kaida means "Little Dragon" in Japanese. She defs is a little dragon; at around 1" body & tail total, she has Tsuki running scared. (Tsuki is my adult female VT...) But Kaida doesn't bite/slap, she just flares... But her flaring is relentless.

I have names!

The little Plat. Marble is "Kaida", "Little Dragon". (Pronounced KAY-dee-AH)

The Pastel Orange Marble is "Ika", "Squid". (Pronounced EYE-kah)

The Orange Cambodian is "Tako", "Octopus". (Pronounced TA-ko)

The Multicolor is "Uni", "Urchin". (Pronounced SOO-key)

Just wanted to add a picture of Rei, the Orange Cambo. from the original Sorority. Do you see the resemblance?
