Your top 5 fish and why?

[Animal-Chin]

Not in any real order, here are my five favorite fish in my tank...

1. Huma Huma Trigger. One of my all time favs. Saw it in a store before I even had a tank and couldn't believe you could have something so cool looking in your home. Risky in a reef but mine only makes a mess with sand, never nips anything.

2. Oriental Sweetlips. Its like a puppy in your tank. Such a cool looking and behaving fish. I've read they may be hard to get eating buy mine ate from day one.

3. Porcupine Puffer. Again, its like a puppy in your tank. Follows you around and begs for food. So cool!

4. Green Bird Wrasse. This is the boss of the tank. Pretty agressive and eats like a pig. Have a good skimmer with this guy but wow are they cool. Constant gliding and they look so different.

5. Mandarin Goby. Like a psychedelic ninja in your tank. It lives in the rock work so its a treat to see him out in the open. Luckly after about 3 weeks I had mine eating frozen daily so he's thriving, if you can get one to live on frozen food they are the coolest.
