Your link both confuses and frightens me.

Mariner. No, not after the Sub Mariner, prince of Atlantis from Marvel Comics fame, but Mariner of Kevin Costner Waterworld fame.

But then you'd have to get a fish liscence for him.

On a related note, any ideas for naming my new pet half-a-bee?

Hmm, how about, ummm . . . . Pablo the Destroyer.

Don't give it a name. Just hang around long enough until a name emerges. I have a manager at work that has a beta in her office. It never really had a name, but now, by common usage, it is called "fishie".:p

Davy Jones.

Then put a locker in the tank. Big enough to fit the fish. When he dies...you see where this is going...

The Subgenii! (First two thirds of Waterworld)
Do you know he plays acoustic guitar in his rock band?
Apparently, he's got a chip on his shoulder after John Tesh, Guy Pearce, and Russell Crowe's "success" with the muse.

Napoleon, Ares, Theseus, Mercenary, Psycho?, Thief, Hessen, or Emperor are all good names. I named my fish Max...he died honourably.
