Favorite fish?

post #1 of 23
Thread Starter 

A poll I guess you would say. Anyways, I would lke to know what is your favorite species of fish or one in particular. I'll go ahead and share mine. I like Tangs and Clowns- I think we all know why :)

Hard to pick a "favorite."  So many species to choose from.

 

H. erectus seahorses would probably be at the top of my list. 

 

I can probably pick a favorite from each family....

 

Tangs: Chevron Tang

Angelfish: Racoon for non-reef safe, bannerfish for reef-safe.

Clowns:  Eh......

Wrasses: McCosker's Flasher wrasse

Anthias:  Bartlett's Anthias

Triggerfish: Humu

Puffers: Valentini Puffer

Damselfish: Blue Reef Chromis

 

 

You get the idea.  It's so hard to pick "one" fish.

Do you have some of these? I was at one point, but did some research, and found they are not so easy to care for.

My favorite is the Lemonpeel angelfish, I love the color and they go in and out of the rocks all day...not shy.

 

My second all time favorite fish is the Erectus Seahorse, personality +...color changes with their mood. I have 3 males and 1 female, it's comedy central everytime I look in their tank.

I have only seen them in pictures...I agree, they are pretty cool. Do you know if they hitch on things like seahorses do? I went looking to see if I could buy one once...$3000.00

They don't hitch.  I saw some at the Monterey Aquarium.  Amazing animals.

That is a very expensive fish?

We have them at the Seattle Aquarium also,, awesome fish to sit and watch for hours...

LILCLOWNS it is not something that can be housed in a home aquarium (well im sure you could try but they have horrible life expectancies in captivity)
