In keeping with my thread https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/reef-discussion/72911-favorite-least-favorite-corals.html, I thought I'd do one for fish. I'm torn for a favorite between the green mandarin and the marine betta. I might have to throw the scooter blenny in the mix too. I don't really have a least favorite, but it's probably some sort of grouper. I'll also state my perception at the beginning, that clowns and wrasses are the kings of the aquarium fish world. What are your favorites and least faves?

Favorite fish: Liarnadella fasciatum (harlequin tusk) His grill's so big he can't close his mouf!
Most disliked fish Acanthurus bispinosus (bristletooth tang) Too aggressive for his lack of looks.

Favorite based on looks is either the bandit or regal angelfish. Personality would be toby puffers or lawnmower blennies. Least favorite has to be any damselfish other than clowns. Nasty little buggers!

My favorite in my tank currently would be my male m meleagris (blackspotted leopard wrasse) now that its changed to its pretty colors.

Least favorite WAS a Male Squareback Anthias... he was a huge jerk face to everyone... killed my first lineatus... so he had to go. Now I'm not sure what my least favorite is... I'll need to let one of my little buddies know the bad news this evening.

I'd say my Tomini bristletooth is my least and most favorite. He does his job like a champ but it a killer for sure. RIP Rabbitfish. I should probably discuss why I like mean fish with my therapist :)

What up Aquabull?......the Carolina's fish Guru for sure!!!!

Ahhh man, I'm still trying to figure out how to answer the question as to my favorite and least favorite coral!!

Hmmmm...I'll keep it narrowed down to fish that I actually have...lol That'll make it an easier decision.

Lately, my favorite fish has become my Majestic Rabbit fish. However, it's a bit too friendly for my taste, as it likes to nibble on my hand/arm when I'm in the tank.
On the other end of the spectrum, right now, my least favorite fish would have to be my 1 Spot Foxface. It's a great fish, but I'm wanting to get rid of it and I know it's going to be tough to catch...lol. By the way, these two Rabbit fish are in different tanks.

My most favorite and least favorite change, depending on my mood, so take the above paragraph with a "grain of synthetic salt."

I hate that I can not have every fish I want..........I love that I still hope too.

Wife's Favorite Fish=Flame Hawk
Wife's least liked fish=Blue Gudgeon Goby
Daughters Favorite Fish= Blue Gudgeon Goby
My Favorite Fish= Big Angels with Emperor Angels right at the top.
Least Favorite Fish= Tank Raised Clowns that will not host in anemone's. I know they are awesome and most people go gaga for them. But I will take a wild pair of true percs over any other clownfish.

fav = kole tang - best work horse in an aquarium and has a great look and personality as well
least = a toss up between two of my all time wants:
the gem tang - i know i will never be able to afford one :(
the achilles tang - the prospect for keeping one happy and healthy is so low i would never take the risk to try one

I think my all time favorite would have to be a longhorn cowfish. Too bad they aren't reef safe though.

My least favorite is a snowflake eel that I used to have. It killed my favorite clams first by ripping their gills out and eating them right in front of me...

I'll do my best to remember to bring you one next time I'm in town :)

My Liege,

In regards to a potential favorite fish that becomes most hated...that lunar wrasse the lfs guy sold you saying he was community. At first, it's cool, pink warpaint on a blue green body, but later, it changes. You add that really cool goby or basslet, and the personable wrasse scoops up the unsuspecting new arrival, and beats it on the rock until the good stuff comes out! All of a sudden, neither the wrasse, nor the lfs guy are as cool.
