Dream Fish

[hawkbait]

I want a blue mandarin super bad I built my whole tank around it and just waiting for my pods to be enough to sustain the beautiful fish. Bonus yellow watch men goby and pistol shrimp but that's just to observe the unique relationship.

A truly reef safe flame angelfish.

 

[Soulpher]

Would love to have an achilles tang, but i don’t think my powder blue and whitecheek would be too happy about that lol

 

[ca1ore]

ok ..lol..in that case ,yes love the desjardini sailfin,my personal favorite is the vlamingii,most personality of all tangs,but..they go 24"long 2+inches thick :)

Vlamingi outgrew even my 450. Easy to catch, not so easy to rehome. Have a 3” baby now. I imagine I’m in the minority, but I really like the Naso genus. Have a liturgis, brevirostris, small vlamingi and small unicornis. (Neither of which will stay small).

I've had 3 & they all died within 2 wks so wont buy anymore unless I'm able to setup a better control system(Apex type). But I've always loved the Emperor Angel.

Oh that sucks! Guess I will have to do some reading and preparing once its time to oull the trigger on one if they are hard to keep, long term.

Dream fish slightly attainable:
- Dragon eel
- rainbow wrasse
- blue star leopard wrasse
- cuttlefish
- octopus

100% unattainable
- sunfish
- panther grouper
- peppermint angelfish
-wrought iron butterfly

 

[Krully]

Mine is probably an eel like the snowflake. Not that it’s impossible but it’s such a hassle with the tight fitting lid, secured rock work and manual feedings. Plus my tank is already stocked so it’ll have to wait if I ever get one.

 

[Beardo]

I would love to have a Goldflake Angel along with a Potters and/or Golden Dearf Angel. I just couldn't trust them with my corals.

Other I will eventually get is a Chaoti Wrasse

 

[Soulpher]

I have a Goldflake, Regal and Flame in my tank. The flame occasionally picks on one coral it's an Acro. GoldFlake and Regal have not nipped once on a coral. I also feed twice a day. when i feed the tangs they eat as well.

 

[WVNed]

Emperor angel, lion fish, eel, butterfly, trigger, sailfin tang. All the fish I couldn't have with smaller tanks.

Are in my tanks now.

Now I just have to keep them as long as I can.

 

[svogun]

Emperor angel. Could do one but don't want to risk my corals!

How is the whitecheek? I've always loved those. I have a Sailfin, Scopas, and Naso. Not sure how they would react to an acanthurus.

 

[giovanni3122]

I working on getting my hands on one, and I'm more of a FOWLR guy, so a Mombasa Lionfish.... Maybe sharks too, but that's a whole other level and game and probably not practical. And I have a juvenile Sailfin, he is great! More Aggressive then you think towards my butterflies.

Salfin is the most aggressive one on your list. you could take the sailfin out and intro whitecheek at the same time. My purple tang has no issues with Whitecheek.

 

[HB AL]

A Great White Shark, that would be my dream fish.

Vlamingi outgrew even my 450. Easy to catch, not so easy to rehome. Have a 3” baby now. I imagine I’m in the minority, but I really like the Naso genus. Have a liturgis, brevirostris, small vlamingi and small unicornis. (Neither of which will stay small).

I’m with you! I love these fish. I have a 300gal 8” tank with Sohal 12 yrs old, blonde naso, unicorn, and vlamingi. The unicorn and vlamingi are smaller but growing fast as I feed well. Also have angels. Sure hope this tank will be big enough to sustain for several years. I hope to never have to rehome but will if it hurts the fish. My favorite is the Sohal!

 

[radiata]

I'd like to give way my three tangs and replace then with Moorish Idols...

 

[Flame2hawk]

I’m lucky to have all my dream fish.....

 

[Hemmdog]

Achilles/gold rim hybrid. I’ll have it some day. Cuban basslet is cool too(wild gramma dejongi)
