Crazy fish
What are some crazy fish out there that are full of life. I'm new to keeping a tank, and I just know I want fish that are wild and always swimming around.  I have a 65g, MH, LR, the works.

Foxface Rabbit Fist...always moving...and funny to watch. Mine loves to catch the current from the powerheads and just zip around the tank.
And they are funny looking!

Yeah I want a bicolor foxface! It has more black in it than the traditional foxface.

I have to agree with this, but this fish can be a problem with SPS.

wish my foxface would start moving around... been in the tank two days... stays hidden behind the rocks... as far as I know, he hasn't eaten anything either.
I'm kinda thinking about tossing a couple small chromis in the tank just to see if them swimming around will help make him feel more comfy.. he's the only fish in my 120 right now.

mandarin are generally hardy, they are a bit more resistant to things like itch because of their thick slime coat, but the problem is their feeding requirements. Most will only eat pods and lots of them too, the reason they die is because people either have to small of a pod population or they expect them to eat frozen foods, which most will not do...in a nutshell they are hardy, just no one fulfills their feeding requirements.

Mandarins are beautiful fish, but often starve in the home aquarium.
