Azul.

Or maybe the Chinese word for blue because they are sometimes called “Chinese Fighting Fish.”

How about “Fish” or “Someone’s lunch.”

Sea Kitten! http://www.peta.org/sea_kittens/ It’s what PETA is trying to have people call fish because “who could harm a sea kitten?”.

Morton if it’s a boy fish.
Mrs. Paul if it’s a girl fish.

Dorian McGreywater Saunders if it plays with plastic army men.
Susan Peacockpetal Ashworthy if it wears purple bows.

Wow, AC. You really like naming fish.

Honestly, I always wanted a blue fish named Bubbles. Dumb, but I like it. I also liked backwards names.

Like Mud, Dirt…or going in a different direction (Fish and) Chips, Sushi, and funny joke names. Chuck Norris, since it’s an asian style fighting fish, etc.

I second Frizzer, Wanda, and Moby. I don’t like naming pets after colors. I did it once to my goldfish, named him Goldy. Then my brother said he ate him as he came out of my room. I ran in to check and he was fine.

The next day I woke up and he was dead.

My brother totally killed my fish.
I don’t care what you say.

I have a tortoise named Tortoise. Initially we called him Kurma, but Kurma is an avatar of Vishnu and it felt weird. So now we call him Tortoise. I don’t think he’s noticed the difference.

@asmonet, I once had a snapping turtle named Dinner. Raised him up from a hatchling to a ten pound hunk of meanness. Then I ate him. Mmmm, he was tasty.

Oh my gosh when I read this question I almost cried. Not that you did anything but I had a blue betta for a long time but it died a week ago. I know its just a fish but we were really close. I suggest the names Coral, Marble, Sapphire, Alex, Ametrine, and Silver. Heres some tips.
– Always have a filter! (without one brething problems are possible!)
– Keep in plants and sea life to remind him of the ocean, and to create a strong lifestyle.
– I had a blue betta and they dont need such a big tank.
– Try and put a tank with a female next to it so that they can look at each other.
