I'm sure that everyone has a Dream Fishes (Yes, the plural of fish is fishes :) ). So, Lets See them!
Mine would have to be a pair of Bandit Angelfish (Apolemichthys arcuatus)
Bold, Elegant, and full of Personality

Lots of fish I would love to have.
Id have to say a pair of Crosshatch triggers have always been on my list but the price is a stinger.

I have been wanting some of these for a while.
Today I got three, but at a cost (not monetary). Will discuss in other thread.
Here is one of the three:

Have to agree with several of the choices mentioned above, especially the mystery wrasse. One that we wish we had added earlier in the order of things (can't really see a way to add her now because our powder blue would just beat her to death) is a female bellus angel. Have often admired Bernie's...

I really want a mystery Wrasse myself but I just got a Helfrichi firefish so I think I need a break for a bit haha... The Bellus angel is a very very pretty fish.

Also wish we could keep alive a long nosed butterfly, but they just don't seem to eat aggressively enough to survive the initial hazing in our tank (see above mentioned powder blue tang). Wonder if we should try Bill's method of fattening up in the sump, but our sump seems awfullly small for that.

And finally, Mike would love to have a trigger (cross hatch or pink tail).

Mine's an Australian Harlequin Tusk. Been wanting one forever, and I just got one last week from Liveaquaria. He's a little bigger than the one in the below pic. Would post a pic but my camera just broke.
