蓝、蓝色
Lan2, or Lan2 Se4
The other translators are right for their translation, but to complement a fighterfish, my suggestion is
Lan2 Se4 ===>Blue
Zhan4 ====>fighter
Shen 2 ===>Spirit, God

蓝牙
This name just jumped up to me. If I have a blue fighterfish, I would like to name it “蓝牙”.
蓝( lan2 ) = blue.
牙( ya2 ) = tooth.
蓝牙（lan2 ya2 ) is the Chinese translation of 'bluetooth', as you may know, that is an advanced communication protocol.
Does your fighterfish use its tooth in fighting?
The Chinese word “牙”also means tooth-like things like crescent moon.
So this name has a lot of associations and possible explanaions around it.

Thanks!
