what's your favorite fish? why?

[Myka]

My favorite fish in my own tank is a Pelicier's Perchlet. He has a personality a lot like a Flame Hawkfish, but less shy and bigger. He's always photobombing.

My most desired fish right now is a Candy Basslet, but I keep getting distracted with more rare fish and spend my budget there instead...

If I could only have one fish it would be a Randal's Goby with a Pistol Shrimp because one fish would likely be a nano and these are the most awesome nano fish imo. If I could only have one type of fish it would be Anthias because a whole whack of Anthias are just beautifully amazing.

Flame Wrasses - for both the bold and subtle beauty. I love supermales with the thin blue line that really adds to the "flame" appearance. A flame wrasse was my first real expensive fish, and 8 or so years ago when I got my first they were a lot less common then these days.

While I love all the fairy wrasses I have stopped collecting them over the years as they are fragile and expensive but hope to eventually start getting some more.

More recently I have started to really like Genicanthus angels. The differences between males and females and the fact even experienced reefers sometimes think the male and females are different species. For years I never really gave these guys much thoughts but they are a great tang alternative as show fish.

Falco hawkfish is very entertaining. The eyes are awsome. My Royal Gramma is a beautiful fish as well. It is out and visible most of the time, takes some interesting orientations at times.

I would have to say Lawnmower blenny(sailfin). this guy is always up to somthing.

His newest trick is going and sitting on the powerhead and taking a huge dump! wow what a jackass. but I love him!

Queen Angel. Bold, beautiful ... and not a coral nipper (yet).

My favorite fish would be my male pintail wrasse - Heimdall. Remarkable coloration, pleasing swimming patterns and a laughable personality. He's very curious for a fish and is completely tame.

I guess a flame angel would be a staple for me. In the last couple decades, starting up new tanks after shutting some down, I would always get another flame angel. Just not right without a flame angel in a saltwater reef tank.

Good choice you have there, I only have a clownfish at home. I really like seeing them swim on my little aquarium, it seems like they are dancing in rhythm.

Has to be my powder blue tang. He runs the show and keeps everyone in line without aggression. A true leader.
