I have a personal favorite fish, which is my vlamingi tang, hes like a dog lol. He recognizes us and watches us when were in the loving room. He knows when my daughter is watching the tank and he knows I feed him. When. Someone new looks at the tank and hes never seen them before he turns almost black and drifts to the back its actually kinda funny.

As for my favorite fish (bc of coloring) is definitly flasher wrasses on general, from flames to the exquisite to 8 lines. All gorgeous fish.

I look forward to the day when someone says, "You know, my dog is like a Tang". :cool:

My current snowflake is my favorite but I really liked my chain link. Its such a unique addition and like having a dragon hid in a cave. The look on guests face when a 2-3ft snake like fish comes out of the rock work is priceless.

Tough choice, but for me wrasses win out

I really love fox face/rabbit fish, they're large but very peaceful in my experience and don't really bug anything, and nothing messes with them because of their spines.

Also I love wrasses just for the variety and personality they all have.

My favorite fish is the melanurus wrasse. I have had several over the years and they are just so active and fun to watch. My second is a Blonde Naso that I had years ago. He was one of the friendliest fish I have ever had.

My favorite fish is my Blue spot jawfish.

It’s pretty neat watching him tend to his burrow all day. I drop new rubble into the tank sometimes just to watch him swim and grab it with his mouth and bring it back to his area.

My blue spot jawfish.

My past favorite was a blue hippo tang. It was about 1 inch and it was a crazy fish. Used to hangout with my clown fish. It would sleep between my glass scraper at night. And would be swimming all over the place. Then my fish got ich and I had them in a QT tank with a HOB filter and the fish got sucked into the filter and died I was so sad. But now it’s my copper band. Just his personality and eats out of my hand I love it

Achiles tang. Something about color, contrast, character, not an easy fish to keep....

Reviving for my favorite fish.
It used to be the kole tang, but ever since I got my potters angel, I've been in love. Absolutely gorgeous fish
