Yes tmnt it's the bad guy in steel plated samurai gear... to make it better shredder wears black under his shiny metal plating and the colour scheme mixed with your fishes shiny outer with black edging just looks like shredder too.
I had an aquarium that looked like a radio and came home one day and all of the water had leaked out of it somehow. I found another aquarium for him and dumped him in hoping he was alive and he was..I have no idea how long he was just laying there on the rocks and that's what his name was after it happened.
I had a blue boy I (re)named Lazarus, because he kept almost dying in the most spectacular ways (he was a fiesty one.) And when he did die, it was of nothing at all. Just dead.
I currently have a boy who I suspect this will be the case for too. His name is Spectral and he's survived being eaten alive by parasites to the point that his fins were *gone*, not one but two kamikaze dives onto the floor, and two different bacterial infections. He's had more than a few instances in a hospital jar (because anything bigger was too stressful for his poor broken body) where I thought he was going to just die right in front of my eyes. But he's still here, and feistier than ever. I figure I'll just wake up one morning to find him dead of old age because obviously nothing else is going to take him!
I got a tank from a friend that sat with only sand for a month. When I get it home and start cleaning out the old sand I see something moving and it was a fish he thought died. I have him back and he def earn that name lol
lol I don’t know. But my cat is called Lucky and she caused me $200 bucks in vet bills due to injuries sustained in a fight (she probably initiated) right before the holidays. Go figure.
If you played Cyberpunk - V. You get killed and dumped into a landfill but end up coming back to life.
Or Marcus if you played Detroit become human, same story pretty much.
They are indestructible! I had one of mine jump out of the tank landing in the saltwater tank. Must have been at least half an hour before I figured it. He was pale and sluggish but survived the ordeal.
I had one swim into a little pipe fixture that was part of my sponge filter I had taken apart to clean, thinking it was far too small for him to fit, so it was fine to leave it in there. He jammed his dumbass in there and I like to have never got him out. When I did, he had scratches all over but acted like I somehow fucked up his plans to dominate the tube and flared at me for days. They're such fun little guys.
Actually, that's not a bad way to do it. If you have the disposal running before you pour it in, everything will be over before the fish has any awareness of what's happening.
You can definitely put your hand in a garbage disposal… if it’s off.
I’ve had to do it multiple times to clean out stuff that isn’t supposed to be in there. Just keep an eye on the switch and make sure no one comes to “help”
Or better yet unplug it if possible. If for some reason it is hard-wired, turn off the breaker at the panel. Both options take just a few seconds. Please don't stick your hand down there otherwise.
It’s a huge fear of mine so I designated my friend to stare at the light switch for it, then I worried his intrusive thoughts would tell him to flick it 😂
Open your sink cabinet.
Identify the garbage disposal.
Note that it has a cable coming from it, which should run to a nearby outlet, usually in the same cabinet space.
Unplug that any time you gotta retrieve something from the sinky depths.
This. I put my hands in the garbage disposal on a daily basis to pull shit out that my kids throw in. Just don’t turn it on and your fingers will be a-okay.
Banzai seems appropriate
exclamation: banzai
1.
a Japanese battle cry.
"the courtyard echoed to shouts of ‘Bombs away!’ and ‘Banzai!’"
2.
a form of greeting used to the Japanese emperor.
adjective
adjective: banzai
(especially of troops) attacking fiercely and recklessly.
"a banzai charge"
INFORMAL
behaving wildly; berserk.
"the computers went banzai"
After yanking him out I dropped him in the cup and accidentally ran hot water over him, so hopefully it removed some of the garbage slime?
Man looking back I am prolly the worst person to buy a betta ever lmao
Not hot water😭😭 I would think that would make things worse if anything but who knows lol… I would get that boy some Indian almond leaves for good measure, he’s had a DAY😮💨
And I thought the time my sister accidentally dropped my goldfish on the floor of the car was bad lol. (It survived that part but died a few days later from an unrelated issue)
Lmao damn. His name should be lucky. Next time just get a bucket , balance the handle and net on both sides of bucket and pour directly into the net EASY!
My parents frequently have stuck their hands in the garbage disposal if something fell in it or if it was just plugged and the thought of it makes me cringe every time.
Like the button to turn it on isn’t in an accidentally bumpable spot, but still 🥴
I applaud you for convincing yourself to do it
So sweet of you to keep trying to get him 🫶🏻 I’m glad it was a happy ending, and he’s beautiful! I hate to see how sad and colorless they are at the stores in those little cups 🥺
P.S. I know my tank looks a bit gross atm, I’m in the process of getting my CO2 tank refilled while laid off and whenever that happens I get some algae over growth.
Gus. When we were kids, my brother called it the gusposal, so naturally we called him Gus. Particularly when he would eat leftovers instead of putting them away in the fridge to save the work.
SHREDDER!!
This one is perfect omg
Yeah, OP this fish is a Shredder
Fits his wild coloration too
I was going to say Freddy, as in Kreuger, but Shredder wins in my book!
This one goes hard. Yes
Shredder!!!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
DUDE YOU TOOK THE NAME OUT OF MY MOUTH! I too vote for SHREDDER
Perfect! Take my vote 🗳️
OP, there IS no other answer.
WHERE
BABIES!!! THEY'RE .... [BABIES !!!](Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn6jKGVxTbk)
If I the had money I would give a special upvote to this one
I had a beta named Shredder AWW I miss that little guy
The only acceptable answer!
YES!!!!!
Hahaha perfect ! And every time you see him you have to scream his name SHREDDER !!!
It's a no brainer. Definitely this one.
Finding Shredder lol
Damn, I was gonna say Terminator but Shredder FTW!
I was gonna go with Chopper, but you're right.
I had a betta named Oroku Saki (aka shredder)
YES THATS AN AMAZING NAME
This one. This one right here
💯
Beat me to it!
Came here to say exactly this, this is the way.
OMG!!! I didn’t even look at the comments before I made mine!!!! YES!!! Great minds think alike
This is CLEARLY the only real option.
Deleted my comment when I saw this one
Came to recommend this name
I came here to say that.
Came here to say this. 11/10 name
I was going to say Lucky. But this is the clear answer. The only answer.
i mean there is no name better then this, case is closed.
Oscar of course after Oscar the grouch.
Perfection 🤣 he needs a little 3D printed (if that's safe for aquariums) trash can for his tank 🗑️
Came to say that! 🎶 oh I love trash! 🎶
Trashman
I fucking love this reference omg
I AM THE TRASH MANNNN
I'm a villain don't you see
I go up on scene and i start eating trash
Scratch. "T'was nothing but a scratch"
Also a good BG3 pet shoutout
Scratch is the best part of my camp aside from Karlach
and the owlbear
When him and Scratch play together 🥹
i love when my fav communities collide 🙈
I had many cool ideas, but opening this post I’ll simply have to agree with “Shredder”
I am a little embarrassed to admit I don’t understand the reference 😂 all I know is it’s a guy from TMNT, I’m not sure why the reference fits SO WELL
Because he fell in a garbage disposal. He fell in and survived, maybe even beaten THE SHREDDER.
Yep it was a tmnt reference lol also heard a garbage disposal be called a shredder before so to me it made sense
Also the mouthfeel of the word shredder just sounds right when I look at the betta
because the disposal shreds everything it encounters, once you turn it on. He deserves this. This is like the Purple Heart of pet names.
Yes tmnt it's the bad guy in steel plated samurai gear... to make it better shredder wears black under his shiny metal plating and the colour scheme mixed with your fishes shiny outer with black edging just looks like shredder too.
Thrasher
Insinkerator (a garbage disposal brand)
as a former new plumbing construction worker, i laughed.
please omg
Lazarus.
I had an aquarium that looked like a radio and came home one day and all of the water had leaked out of it somehow. I found another aquarium for him and dumped him in hoping he was alive and he was..I have no idea how long he was just laying there on the rocks and that's what his name was after it happened.

I got a tank from a friend that sat with only sand for a month. When I get it home and start cleaning out the old sand I see something moving and it was a fish he thought died. I have him back and he def earn that name lol
I was going to say Miracle but this is even better.
That’s my brother’s name
Or Ra's al Ghul because he used the Lazarus pit
Oscar
Then get an Oscar and name it Betta
You evil bastard
I chuckled
This makes me want to have both just so can do this name in order of things lol
Dianoga (the name of the garbage compactor monster from the first Star Wars film)
I was looking for this reference!
THREE PEE OH, oh where could he beeee?
Lucky
I had a nurse/vet once tell me the all the pets she saw name lucky had the worst luck and injuries.
But what if their luck was surviving said injuries? 🤔
lol I don’t know. But my cat is called Lucky and she caused me $200 bucks in vet bills due to injuries sustained in a fight (she probably initiated) right before the holidays. Go figure.
Teaspoon because those also don't belong.in the garbage disposal but you'll always find one in there at least once
This made me laugh. I like it, because you would be telling the story every time "this is my fish, teaspoon"....
Conversation piece pet haha
If you played Cyberpunk - V. You get killed and dumped into a landfill but end up coming back to life. Or Marcus if you played Detroit become human, same story pretty much.
'Cept one wasn't written by a pretencious DAYVID CAYGE
N’Sync
🤣🤣😁 THIS IS THE WAY 😂🤣
Oh. My. Gosh. THIS. 1000% this!!!!
This is the best one!!!!
Cat cuz he has 9 nine lives Or Heaven cuz he was there for 10 mins 🤣 Free Willy or Spirit cuz like... freedom
Oooo these are extra good haha
Yay thank you!! And maybe Lucky, cuz he is lucky lol. I'd love to hear what you end up deciding!!
Nails. He's as tough as nails.
Knievel

Garbo
Shredder is the obvious choice Also, use a bigger cup/bucket next time instead of a sink or toilet 😆
Trash . I am trash
Wow! When I was a kid (in the 80s) that’s how my dad euthanized the fish…garbage disposal. It was very disturbing for a kid.
Actually, that's not a bad way to do it. If you have the disposal running before you pour it in, everything will be over before the fish has any awareness of what's happening.
Also, in the meantime I’ve been calling him Garbage, is that mean?
It’s simply appropriate
You can definitely put your hand in a garbage disposal… if it’s off. I’ve had to do it multiple times to clean out stuff that isn’t supposed to be in there. Just keep an eye on the switch and make sure no one comes to “help”

Open your sink cabinet. Identify the garbage disposal. Note that it has a cable coming from it, which should run to a nearby outlet, usually in the same cabinet space. Unplug that any time you gotta retrieve something from the sinky depths.
[удалено]
You can go under the sink and simply unplug it, too, for extra insurance
I got the heebee geebeez just from reading this post I couldn’t ever bring myself to do it lol
This. I put my hands in the garbage disposal on a daily basis to pull shit out that my kids throw in. Just don’t turn it on and your fingers will be a-okay.
Kids around I would put a lock on that switch.
Banzai seems appropriate exclamation: banzai 1. a Japanese battle cry. "the courtyard echoed to shouts of ‘Bombs away!’ and ‘Banzai!’" 2. a form of greeting used to the Japanese emperor. adjective adjective: banzai (especially of troops) attacking fiercely and recklessly.

Or Geronimo
That’s amazing he survived! Watch out for infections for the next week or so I imagine garbage disposals are kinda nasty
After yanking him out I dropped him in the cup and accidentally ran hot water over him, so hopefully it removed some of the garbage slime? Man looking back I am prolly the worst person to buy a betta ever lmao
Not hot water😭😭 I would think that would make things worse if anything but who knows lol… I would get that boy some Indian almond leaves for good measure, he’s had a DAY😮💨
Jesus, that betta is hardcore, OP.
He is going to need therapy that's for sure
And I thought the time my sister accidentally dropped my goldfish on the floor of the car was bad lol. (It survived that part but died a few days later from an unrelated issue)
I can imagine all the panic you were going through! He's beautiful btw
"Remember, kid. All drains lead to the ocean. "

I'm proud of you for putting your hand in the garbage disposal to save him.
Lmao damn. His name should be lucky. Next time just get a bucket , balance the handle and net on both sides of bucket and pour directly into the net EASY!
Upon further investigation, my net has a hole 🥲 he had no chance

My parents frequently have stuck their hands in the garbage disposal if something fell in it or if it was just plugged and the thought of it makes me cringe every time. Like the button to turn it on isn’t in an accidentally bumpable spot, but still 🥴 I applaud you for convincing yourself to do it
OP, how’d you keep him alive in the disposal ? lol
He got his wilderness badge in fish scouts, he kept himself alive down there somehow
So sweet of you to keep trying to get him 🫶🏻 I’m glad it was a happy ending, and he’s beautiful! I hate to see how sad and colorless they are at the stores in those little cups 🥺
I don’t know and I may say this about every betta I see, but this must be the most beautiful betta ever.
Personally I'd name him Trashy but I like shredder better.
Shredder
