Whats Your Favorite Marine Fish Of All Time?

[1234-fishy-freind]

I was just wondering what marine fish you guys really love out of all the rest.

I will get the ball rolling with my favorite, the powder blue tang.

 

[SkiFletch]

The Queen "coral lawmower" Angelfish

Other favorites include the male Christmas Wrasse (too bad it too can nip corals and munch inverts), male Labouti Wrasse, Powder Blue Tang, and the rare super-male Leopard Wrasse which has a green/purple coloration... GORGEOUS!

[n3ont3tra]

White cheek tang
Acanthurus nigricans

Japanese Dragon Eel

Yellowhead jawfish

Sorry I couldn't pick just one.

[laurieo33]

Yellow head jawfish for sure...they are very interesting.

P.volitans are my favorite, they look cool and are just so personable. I'm hoping to get one when I move.

Yay, an oppurtunity for pic whoring!


Well, I have always been a fan of anything from the Family Antenerriidae:
Lophiocharon sp

Antennarius maculatus (all the same individual fish)

Antennarius striatus

And my white ribbon eel (Pseudechidna brummeri) and porcupinefish (Diodon holocanthus) both look good

But possibly my favourite looking fish (even including frogfish) I have kept would be a Pteroidichthys amboiensis. If I see one of these again I am likely to buy it, despite me no longer buying new fish.

Undoubtedly the pinktailed trigger, Melichthys vidua... wait, maybe the tile moray, Gymnothorax tile... or possibly Diodon holacanthus, or Tetraodon nigroviridis... ah f@#$ it, too hard to pick.

I love yellow Cow Fish and porcupine puffers. I actually had my large 6 Foot Tropical Tank empty for nearly a year now just to figure out how to turn it into a marine tank so I can keep one of these. (I know they don't go together, sigh). But have finally given up on the idea - the way the tank is made it is just going to be too difficult and also way too expensive.

 

[Soul Of The Night]

Mandarin dragonets. Despite their difficult appetite I still favor them. Oh, and sailfin tangs.

Hmmmm there are so many its hard to pick

My LFS has a Moon Wrasse in one of their display tanks that I really love. Other favorites would probably be a Fairy Wrasse or flasher wrasse (Clown fairy wrasse and carpenter flasher wrasse spring to mind).

Really like a lot of Anthias as well (Pseudanthias ventralis are amazing looking fish but will never have chance to keep any).
