Naming Your Fish Species
To name a fish, consider:
- Which habitat—coral reef, river, abyss—inspires you?
- Should it include “-fin,” “-spine,” or “-scale”?
- Will it sound exotic or familiar?
- How many syllables suit taxonomy?
- Does it hint at color or behavior?
How are fish names generated?
They merge aquatic themes with biological suffixes.
Can I specify suffix?
Regenerate until “-fin,” “-gill,” or “-scale” appears; no direct filter.
Are names scientific?
They follow general taxonomy patterns but are fictional.
