If You Could Have Any Specialist Fish What Would It Be?

[Wills]

If you could have a fish that had to be in a solitary tank or special conditions but you dont have the room/time/experience what would it be? I'd love to hear some people dream odd balls.

Without a doubt for me it is Gulper Catfish I want 2 and I would call them Gobbles and Bumble Probably get a big tank and divide it for them, they just look so happy with the way that their mouths curl up into a smile!

How about you?

Wills!

Archer fish, with a tank that they can feed on insects like they do in the wild. Crazy thing is that one of my lfs just got some in stock!!! but i don't have room for another tank

I dont know if choosing marine is allowed, but ive always dreamt of having a pair of clown fish with an anemone, but marine is just too big a leap for me . id probably kill them by putting the wrong amount of salt in or something . maybe in future i might have a marine nano with 2 clownfish and a cleaner shrimp with lots of corals

id have a man eating catfish and with giant freshwater rays in wit him

and have a huge aqaurium with a massive glass tube through it although the glass would have to be like 3 foot thick or else id be scared the man eater would try to attack and crack the glass

thats if money was no object tho

at this point the only "specialist" fish I like and would consider would be a flowerhorn. i dont have one because i dont have space for another tank, and my current 75g is dedicated to angelfish and rainbowfish. if i ever do a complete switch-over then chances are that's what i'm going for

I'm not sure about a specialist fish,but i would love a pair of kribs

see as you have said "if you could"well i have alway's loved arapaima gigas, having a special made pool with viewing window's in an outside garden with some Osteoglossum bicirrhosum, Cichla orinocensis and a few Oxydoras niger for bottom dweller's......dam that would be a beautiful tank to own with lots of natural wood and rocks etc

also in another tank a nice shoal of pirahna
