What fish do you wish you could have?

[Rmckoy]

i want a good personality fish this weekend

Foxface rabbit fish , lawnmower blenny , hawk fish

3 completely different personalities

 

[DCR]

Any of beautiful butterflies that only feed on specific coral polyps and are impossible to keep, such as Chaetodon austriacus, larvatus, lunulatus, ornatissmus, meyeri, and baronessa.

pinneatus batfish. I had one once that I grew from 2-3” to about 14”. He or she would eat just about anything. Would eat spinach right out of my hand. Still morn the loss 30+ years ago.

Would like a lipstick tang, but my tank is to small for it... And or, a stingray tank would be awesome also...

Poma Labs is your friend. Will still set you back 4,000 bucks for one though. I think Blue Lines are a good alternative and they also breed em.

For me it used to be The Dwarf Cuttlefish, sepia bandensis! Now I have those, so maybe the flaymboyant cuttlefish! They’re hard to keep though An epaulette shark would be awesome with the right tank, but I think a Coral Beauty is what I want right now! Every time we get one at work, it sells instantly! But soon!

A hulafish. ORA isn't shipping them to Canada, for some reason, so I'll just have to keep looking at videos.

Also: a captive-bred Royal Gramma for my RSM 250. I only have three fish in there! I'm saving space and being patient!

Not sure if they ship to Canada but I have been seeing the rwu captive bred royal grammas popping up more and more on la divers den lately. Probably anywhere around a handful a week or so.
Edit: might be every few weeks, they go quickly but starting to become more often they are available

Is RWU a breeder like Biota, ORA and Bali Aquarich?

 

[jt8791]

I don’t think so, I forget what it stood for. Some university I think it was

 

[jt8791]

They aren’t available anymore, they seem to go pretty quickly. Saw quite a few of the fish in this list on their right now. I like checking divers den even when I’m not shopping for fish, always something new and rare.

 

[torombolo]

Today; an Achilles tang, need a bigger tank for that one............. time for an upgrade LOL

 

[jt8791]

Not sure if I will end up doing a big tank downstairs but if I do it’s really tempting to keep an eye out for captive bred purple tangs. They always catch my eye on algae barn but never actually seen them available. Every time I start planning that build it’s adds up way too quickly without even getting into livestock so it will be on the back burner for a good while.

marine betta is another tempting one to try captive. Another one that catches my eye but I don’t see myself ever doing a big enough tank is the biota maculosis angelfish. Actually shocked biota marine bettas are in stock right now, have been out of stock for a long time.

Yellow Tang, Blond Naso and Blue Hippo. Had All three at once time, but the Blond Naso bullied the Yellow Tang to death. The Blond Naso went missing about 2 Months later and was never seen again.

I have a yellow & a blue in my RS260. Hoping to add a Naso when I move everyone over to the WB220.6.

I managed to pick one up a few months ago, and it's in my 40g cube now. They're lovely fish, but I think that my orchid dottybacks are even prettier.

 

[StPatrick89]

Blue line triggerfish

 

[BillFish Coral Lover]

A Marlin would be nice but my new 75 won't quite work.

 

[SeaDøøby]

A Unicorn Tang or a box fish. Unicorn tangs just get too big and I’m too scared to put in any type of box fish. I do see them all over my lfs though.

What fish do you wish you could keep but you just can't. For me it has to be a midnight arothron puffer theres just something about them sadly can't keep one in any of my tanks too aggressive.

Emperor Angel. I have tried twice, on going through the change. And one Juvenile. Both just decided they didn’t want to live anymore.

 

[DeniseAndy]

I would love my toby puffer back, but cannot trust it with my clams back in the system.
