Top 3 Favorite Fish

[OrganizedChaos69]

Spotted leopard gourami. My favorite fish all time, very sexy, very fun to watch them eat beef heart/blood worms, and even feeder fish. They can eat guppies and small goldfish, so watch it if you don't mean for them too. Their mouths can open up 3 times the apparent size and suck prey in. Very hardy fish that if by accident, can live out of water for hours. I had one caught in an ornament one time when I had to transfer the fish. He refused to come out, and I tried prying him out wwith my fingers but his spikes dug well into the smallish hole of the ornament. After much deliberation and heartache, I realized I had the leave the poor guy in there. During a two-three hour transport and re-insertion into a waiting tank at a new house, I put the ornament in the tank with him in it, and he came right out, ready to eat. Listed as Semi-Agressive, but normally only agressive to other climbing perch's and not other species. Will harass and attempt to eat small fish.

Black Ghost Knife. I just love these guys, so fun to watch. They eat small fish like guppies and such, beware. (Despite being very peaceful)

Discus, wish I could afford more.

Well it's called a Leopard Gourami and is a type of climbing perch. It is from Africa but it was sold as a freshwater fish and has lived happily in my freshwater tanks. And every site I have visited also calls them freshwater fish.

Lol aren't those the white ones with the gills still hanging off of their heads, as if they were stuck in their larval stage?

I like Hellbenders. Cool name, grizzly look, and you don't have to worry about them getting stepped on, you can't miss em, since they are the size of a cat or small dog.
