Your favorite fish of all times is......


Just curious what's most popular with you guys. I know that each person has their own taste and preference when it comes to fish, but all that aside...what do you like? I don't have any fish yet, and am still "shopping."

Don't forget the pics if you got 'em.

Cich, thats my Fav fish too! I dont think theres many substrate conflicts so long as you dont have the DSB in your main display.. and even if you do with your size of a tank I don't think i would be that much of a problem once you gave him the correct building materials and he got settled in...

This all being said if your thinking about htis fish :P

I want one, but Im more worried about the 150 dollar fish JUMPing out of the tank rather than digging up my sandbed heh.

Blue Spotted Jaw Fish all the way baby!

I have a mated pair of maroon clownfish and this is the large female! At times I promise myself to take her back to the LFS as she tends to stir up my DSB! I have had the pair for a long time! Johnny

Great pics people! Before my reef tank many years ago I had a clown trigger that I raised from a baby (1" long) to a full grown adult that was definitely my fav. fish. By the way Balakoth ffexpress has the blue spot jawfish on sale for the cheapest price I have ever seen, $40!!!

I gotta side with Rick here..I don't have one either...but I really love the beauty of a powder blue.

Here's my current favorite fish in our tank....cuz he eats our nasty aiptasia and he is quite beautiful! This pic was the day he was introduced into the tank.



Hey Mike...I'd give my right arm for some of those blue zoanthids. Are they really that blue??

LOL Brooke, I was eyeing those too. I've been on the hunt for the really blue ones ever since some nasty hitcher snails ate the blue zoanthids that had come in on my live rock.

IF I had to pick one fish, it's the Powder Blue Tang. But right up there on the list are clown gobies and Leopard Wrasses. My choices kinda run the gamut
