What's your personal favorite type of fish species and why ?

[kl70]

What is your favorite type of fish and why do you most admire it, compared to all the numerous other fish species.
Or alternatively, cite the most eloquent, articulate, wittiest or even poetic comment/s made on your favorite fish that you have collected, or have on file, that answers the question for you.

Tangs hands down. They are very active and colorful as well as have individual personalities.

 

[seraphan mage]

Angels or tangs mostly because of the beautful colorations.

I am going to have to go along with the rest af the group that says tangs, especially the blue tang. What a magnificent colour.

i say puffers because of their personality and their manueverability. they have great colorations and eating habits are tremendously fun to watch. They are always looking for something new and the owner can actually have a bond with them. well that can happen with any fish.

Hmm, several top canidates. For me, personality is more important than looks. I'm gonna have to go with lawnmower blenny as my favorite (you reading this rye?), but close second would be humu trigger (never kept as they aren't reef compat), and third would be perc clowns (they are like puppies, curious, clumsy and always getting into trouble).

It's a toss up between stingrays and morays.
I love how elegant and graceful and gentle stingrays are. Mine seems even to be affectionate.
Morays are just so stange and fascinating that I can't stop watching them. They move in ways that are hard to imagine unless you've already seen it. Feeding them is a blast--they are so powerful, it immediately makes you take the hobby seriously!
For fish, generally I love wrasses. I love how sleek they are and how deliberately they move about the tank. I no longer have one in my tank, since I decided "semi-agressive reef" is a contradiction in terms!

i say puffers. I think they have the best personalities out of the fish i have. My Coral Banded Shrimp will be a close second....i love mine.

 

[tahoe ocean]

Clowns! They are personality plus! They also don't take any balogne from any of their tank mates!

 

[clownfish_and_bettas]

Clownfish and Damsels! Maybe cowfish too!

 

[irenicus]

You gotta love the puffers

Before I got my lawnmower blenny, I would have said my leopard wrasse, who acts more like a dolphin than a fish. But I am kind of leaning toward my lawnmower blenny now...has a great personality...

 

[fishy88]

puffers they have so much personality
