Favorite Fish and Why?

MamaP · Aug 25, 2019

Hey, Reefers!

Here's a question for you... Of all your current and previously owned fish, what's your favorite fish and why?

Of the fish I have personally owned I would probably say my male mandarin dragnet, it has some personality and looks amazing. Of all the fish I have seen personally however it would ether be a purple or gem tang due to how majestic they look

I loved my blue throat trigger before my pet sitter murdered him. So much personality and such a cool swimming style.

Miss my red tooth trigger too. Wish I could fit one in my tank

my skeletor eel is my fav (profile pic). you can't kill eels hardly, pebble booths like mine are reef safe (mostly), and skeletors have the most amazing pattern!

Call me basic but I love my yellow watchman goby. He is goofy and I love how he acts around his shrimp

He's impressive! How do you clean his tank?

I'd like to have one some day, but I'm a little scared of them!

not sure if you meant to quote me twice, but I clean the tank just like anyone else does. they are not aggressive at all and will leave you alone. They are nothing to be scared of at all. Very friendly eel. Just dont put your finger next to their dinner. lol

I have a personal favorite fish, which is my vlamingi tang, hes like a dog lol. He recognizes us and watches us when were in the loving room. He knows when my daughter is watching the tank and he knows I feed him. When. Someone new looks at the tank and hes never seen them before he turns almost black and drifts to the back its actually kinda funny.

As for my favorite fish (bc of coloring) is definitly flasher wrasses on general, from flames to the exquisite to 8 lines. All gorgeous fish.

Sorry to hear that! I have one who will finish QT this week.

My favorite individual would have to be my Copper Band Butterfly, Beaker. So full of personality and beautiful.

My favorite type of fish is definitely wrasses

alton · Aug 26, 2019

My Copperband that I had for 13 years. Very friendly, ate aptaisia, never bothered corals or any other fish. First fish to beg for food each day. And since his passing I can't bring myself to buy another.
