Seona, pronounced like shona. Or, if that is not good enough, then call it Ibby, or Kered, or Nirasa. The first is a real name, the others are made up especially for your lovely fish. Oh, I wish you good fun with the naming game and ceremony. But my cat would really like to meet your fish. Bad cat - but what can a mere human do? (I do like Ibby, though!) Ibby, Ibby, Ibby! ---
