well i am lucky enough to have grown up in the middle east (in dubai) we used to go over to the east coast of the uae and go snokelling.. and the fish were amazing! you could never imagine so many different colours and types of fish, swimming with turtles and sharks and everything i love it!!

in thailand we snorkelled at phi phi island, and the fish actually ate banana out of your hand.. ! its just a mass of moving colours.. so many fish you couldnt' even pinpoint one that is more colourful than the others!

For me the nicest fish i've ever seen has to be the blue tang...

It's just a same i dont have the money nor the time to set up a suitable reef tank to house one.

They said freshwater, no cheating please.

For me it would have to be something like my Peacock Bass or arowana but i'm sure there is probably a African Cichlid or two that would know spots off them, some of the rainbow fish have some pretty fantastic colours too.

I'd have to go with Pseudotropheus Demasoni (African Mbuna), stunning blue/black stripes that almost rivals marine fish.

oops didn't notice the "freshwater" bit.. doh!
had a look at those peacock bass, they are really beautiful!
i would agree that there are some stunning aftican cichlids around though. i would say that they are probably the most colourful freshwater.. although like xamdarb said discus are also beautiful.. especially the blue ones..
this is almost as hard as choosing a marine fish!!

It's a bit obscure, but a lot of Koi or Goldfish could easily be classed as most colourful I reckon. Especially the calico varieties.

Other than that, I guess it would be cichlids.

Fundulopanchax sjoestetdi Blue Gularis

Marine fish have little rivals in the colour department. Killifish come close in freshwater terms. and it's hard for me to choose, if pushed it would have to be between,
Nothobranchius Rachovi

or
Fundulopanchax Gardneri Misaje
