Guess what our fish are called....

After one week of letting the plants in our aquarium grow and change the water into a habitable environment, we bought the first few fish today. We bought four metal-colored cory cats (German: Metall Panzerwels) and two black catfish (Antennenwelse) with white dots (very pretty).

Now, can you guess what our little fish are called? Well? I shall give you a hint. Their names have a weird meta quality. All six are little white hats who have a distinct service to perform. They keep the world clean for the other fish. Of the jolly corys, three always hang out together, the fourth keeps apart. The two black ones immideately moved to opposite corners of the large aquarium to sulk, but now they are happily occupying and sharing the middle of the aquarium, where a root and a stone give them a snug place. They aren't exactly cuddling, but they do share a territory.
I'll give you another hint. Since the four cory cats are impossible to distinguish from each other they all have the same name. Well? A cupie doll for you if you can guess their names.

*smiles happily.* I love our little fishies.

PS: Hubby suggested the names. I love my hubby.
