What is your favorite fish?

[msmith619]

I am curious about what other people like. MY favorite fish, for the past 25 years of keeping marine fish, is the Royal Gramma. Every tank I have ever set up has one. They are beautiful, peacefull and eat anything.... the perfect fish!
My second favorite is the Yello-headed Jawfish. When this tank has been up a year, I will add one. I always have a 4 inch sandbed for my jawfish.
What is your favorite and why?

The favorite fish I have is a mandrin. My favorite fish are not reef safe either a clown trigger or an imperator angel.

i love my brown bird wrassse due to him being so active

New to the hobby but so far my favorite is the Cow Fish. We got one at just a little over a thumb sized and he has grown quite a bit in the last few months.

Always looking around and poking through things and always interested in what I'm doing in the tank.

Would really like to get a mandarin myself but worry that my tank isn't established well enough. If I could find one that is actively eating prepared food...

Gem Tang... amazing but $3500

try a Spotted Mandarin they tend to eat frozen brine

Pearly jawfish. They are just so cool how they decorate their home with shells and what ever they can find.
like this.

Mystery wrasse. It will be the first fish I put in my new set up.

Bicolor Angel all the way. I'll have to get some snap shots of mine.

My fave as far as personality (personal experience anyway):

My flame angel was such an attention whore

My favorite hands down has to be my Starry Blenny, Reveille.

For pure personality and looks it is hard to beat "grover" the bluespot jawfish

dude, i love the helfrichi...i've had three of them. i bought two from a lfs, one came in kind of crappy so it didn't make it through the night. the other was a champ, but i moved and the move took a heavy toll on my livestock and he bit the dust.

the third was bought after i moved, and was doing well for a while, but my new setup was having problems with some store bought water and i lost a small handful of fish.

i do plan on getting more of them after i move to my new house in a few months and after the tank has been established. i've found a new source for them and i can get them for crazy cheap.

definitely. i had one a while, but the air went out in my apt and killed off a few fish because of the temp swing. nothing like a south texas summer with no a/c!

but here's my fav fish currently in my tank:

For personality, this guy is my fave...Vilamingi (sp) Tang. Everyone that has one says they love theirs. They are full of personality and always in your face. I have many I LOVE the looks of though.

One that lives.

I love fish with personality so a couple of my favorites are the algae blenny, and flame hawkfish I've had for a couple of weeks now.

Lots of beautiful fish out there though.

[AustinReefClub]

My all-time fav and what I aspire to own is a mandarin that my tank can sustain. Until then it's the flame hawk.

:wub:Is there truly any way to choose an absolute favorite from the plethora of the worlds greatest pets...saltwater fish??? If I have to at the top of my list is the obvious beauty:
opistognathus rosenblatti aka blue spotted jawfish

My purple tang but I think he tried to shank me the other day. I better watch my back. Guess he didn't want me to move that rock.
