Favorite Fish?


I guess this is kind of a poll ...what is your favorite fish...and yes, I am trying to get ideas on some more reef-style fish for my tank (although it is a 15 gallon, so no hepatus or Naso tang here ) anyway...mine would probably have to be the Six-Line Wrasse, or the Bangaii Cardinalfish. Hey, at least my tastes aren't too expensive

I'll got to say it's the Yellow tang. Low cost and works hard.

My favorite fish is my Kole tang. My yellow tang is lazy, he stays in one of two locations most of the day...only time he swims is to follow the Kole around and try to bully it and to eat of course, he never grazes other than on the nori clip. The kole tang is always grazing and fun to watch swim.

I think from your orginal post you are looking for a fish for your nano?

You can't go wrong with a clown....or any kind of blennie if you are looking for personality.

too hard to pick a fave, but high up there on the list is my blue assessor. they 'come' in yellow as well. swims kinda like a royal gramma, body vertically, sideways, upside down, all over the tank, hiding in holes, swimming in and out of crevices, and has a good demeanor. I have been dying to get a lawnmower blenny though. I have too many fish already

My Niger(Black) Trigger is my favorite. He has a floresent black blue color. The fins ripple in the current, and he has a set of eyes that say are you going to feed me now please. I am always hungry and would like some blood worms please.

This is such a tough question...as I think they are all so..you know buyable if you have the space!

Although I know most will disagree...I found my Tomato Clown (recently deceased) to be my favorite...lots of "spunk". I guess my second choices would be a bi-color blennie or a pink spotted goby--the ones I have had were very entertaining personalities...
