named my angels

I did another water change this morning, 35%. I propped up the fallen stick, and rinsed one of the filter sponges. I was a concerned one of the angels has dark on the edge of its tail, and keeps twitching like something irritates it- shaking its head, or the fins (like my cat does when something tickles his ear). Water definitely clearer afterwards, and the angels seem more relaxed. They're also showing better color- stripes bolder.

I keep thinking of the smaller, extra-striped one as Zee.

Which, coincidentally, can have the following meanings: The ability to see something so clearly that it reflects the undisputable truth, a total experience combining all the senses in one or one who is like a god or dazzling looks and influential personality but that's all from urban dictionary so who knows. I was just thinking Zee for zebra, and because it sounds like the name of something little.

I'm calling the other one Aaya.

Harder to get a closeup of this fish, definitely more camera-shy and moves away quickly. (Zee comes out sooner and moves faster towards food- I though at first just hungrier, but maybe bolder too).

Aaya is a mother goddess in Akkadian mythology (ancient Mesopotamia), also can mean someone beautiful and amazing in every possible way. Spelled with one less a, it's a Japanese name meaning colorful or beautiful and an Old German word meaning sword. Spelled Aiya, it's a Hebrew name meaning bird. Either way I think it fits.
