What should I name my new betta buddy?
He’s to be an office fish; a little celebration of my promotion and new permanent workstation.* He’s a half moon betta (though not near as well bred as that fellow), and has a light cream and iridescent green body and dark red fins and tail, shot through with the iridescent green of his body.
I was thinking maybe Mr. Mooney because I have warm childhood memories of The Lucy Show. But the honorific seems a bit formal for such a friendly little guy. Any suggestions?
*This is not an impulse fish to be kept in a cup by my keyboard. He will have a 2.5 gal, food on Saturdays, and a heater and pump if he needs them (my last little guys did, but they seem to be very individual critters so we shall see).

I went through a phase of naming mine after Greek letters. Alpha Betta, Gamma Betta, Omega Betta, etc.
Dr. Moon… wait, that’s just my fangeek showing, sorry.
Hmmm…How about Sprig? he’s green and red (with cream) like a flower bud.
Luna, Lunar, Titan, Europa, Callisto, Io, or some other moon’s
Ghealach (phonetically: Ga-luck)
Its Irish for moon. Though it sounds a bit like Klingon. =/
Hullo, “Gorgeous.”
Betta watch out.
Beta blocker….maybe he can be the 1st Betta to earn a pharmacology degree. lol
My daughter has a Betta..he is so cool…takes food from your fingers, has personality, watches everything…a fish with presence. haha
Such a pretty fish! Name him Jetta. Jetta the Betta. Betta getta Jetta. And put on a sweata. We’ll go togetta. How’s the weatta?
I thought of naming mine “Alpha, the betta” but I eventually just wound up calling him “stupid fish”.
TameTomato, because it’s the opposite of @wildpotato. Get it?
