[Uberhoust]

I am currently raising angels but I really like oscars. Puppy dogs of the fish world. My father raised them in a home built massive tank. I got to feed them and my mother would mop up the floor afterwards.

To eat I really like fresh caught blue cod, and brook trout.

 

[Coryking]

Goes without saying Corydoras (all types) are my favourite, but oddly enough weather loaches are another favourite. When I had some they were so fun to watch and just quite an interesting fish.
To eat battered cod with a bit of salt is easily the best.

 

[GaryE]

Aphyosemion coeleste killies, Pelvicachromis kribensis Moliwe Cichlids, Enteromius jae barbs, cardinal tetras, Melanotaenia duboulayi rainbows.

For eating? Goldfish crackers.

Clown loach aka Chromobotia macracanthus.
Altum angels aka Pterophyllum altum
Any of the B&W Hypancistrus from the Big Bend of the Rio Xingu (zebra, L173, L236 which I believe is a natural Hybrid).
