I'd like to hear what everybodies 3 favorite aggressive fish are....
I will start.
1. Harliquin Tusk (most beautiful, excellent personality)
2. Queen Trigger (just DEMANDS my attention, sadly they must live alone)
3. Bumblebee Grouper (or any torpedo shaped grouper for that matter)
Of course, subject to change (on a daily basis!?)
Lets hear it....

I want to see more pix of these favorite fish. Since I can't put them in my tank, I can just look at someone elses. That is my theory to the big fish. If I can't have them, I will just go the the store and look at them. :rolleyes:

pretty typical list here
1. Puffers (all kinds, especially porcs and dog faces)
2. Lionfish (again all kinds, but i badly want a volitans)
3. Sharks, they are just awesome.
Right now all I have is a porc puffer but he rocks my world :)

Bullshark:
Here's what one website says about the Bumblebee Grouper:
"This species grows to at least 2.7m in length and over 400kg. It is one of the largest bony fishes, and is the largest on coral reefs.
It has been implicated in fatal attacks on humans.":eek:
HOLY CATS! That's almost a 10 foot fish!
Another site says they are a threatenend species...but doing a search for that bad boy brought up a number of places claiming to have them for sale.
BTW, is this the same grouper found off Cozumel? I have a picture of me diving next to a 4-5' grouper of some kind!
