help me name my one eyed cichlid

[apricot]

I've got a little guy here who's in need of a name, so I thought why not let you all decide. He was a surprise gift from the lady at my local fish store - she got a new shipment in and as soon as I walked in, she told me she had a present waiting for me.

This little peacock cichlid has found a pretty cool way to adapt - he hangs out by a reflective wall, which gives him full vision despite his blind side. He's always the first to grab food and his colors are really something. I almost bought him on the spot, but then he turned around in the LFS tank and I did a double take - I asked the lady what was going on with him.

He seems to be in good health, and if you take a close look, you can see his small underdeveloped eye moving under the skin - it's pretty wild, reminds me of when my neptunes used to lay those weird round balls with eyes.

I'll give it a go. Cyclopea's a pretty fitting name, don't you think, considering his one eye situation.

How about Blink.

If I walked into that LFS, that one-eyed peacock cichlid would've been the first one I'd pick up - no question.

Sir Winks-A-Lot's got a nice ring to it.

Sir Winks-A-Lot - I love it. Has the little guy received his knighthood yet?

I'd go with Polyphemus, the one-eyed giant. A cyclops from Greek mythology, son of Poseidon, and a pretty fierce creature.

[duskyfish]

I've got a betta, One Eyed Willy, and I think that name would suit this little guy just fine.

[Meadowbloom]

I'd be leaning towards a pirate name, but for the life of me, I just can't think of one that fits this little guy.

How about Socket, or if it's a girl, Sockette?
