My son named him Nemo.   The fish is neither talented nor smart (as far as I can tell), so Picasso and Einstein were out, but even Bob would have been more original than having a pet fish called Nemo.

In all seriousness though, PETA needs to be called about this disaster:

Do you really think your pet fish enjoy the view provided in this set up?
Not nice at all!
