Because being an ‘artist’ makes you more qualified to recognize beauty?pre-emptively stop people from bashing my sense in aesthetics.
I will proudly respond to you that is affirmative- My trainings in art and art history does provide the foundation to recognize what appeals the human sense of beauty not just from what reaches the eyes, but also in consideration from cultural and historic perspectives.Because being an ‘artist’ makes you more qualified to recognize beauty?
Lol sounds kind of contradictory to your previous post.

In no way this contradicts my previous post.
Before you respond- might I just remind you to be kind. Thanks
Tvan- You seems to be on a mission to go out of your way to proof me wrong for some reason. What have I said to have offended you?Following your logic -
If I say that fish is beautiful, but you disagree, your ‘sense’ would be more profound and reasonable than mine?
From your previous post; “Absolutely, beauty is in the eye of beholder.”
Fish prices aren’t all based on ‘beauty’. Collection depth, collection area, hardiness, etc all come into consideration.
I just wanted your opinion as an ‘artist’.Tvan- You seems to be on a mission to go out of your way to proof me wrong for some reason. What have I said to have offended you?
The only thing I've personally blacklisted is the conspicuous. I actually like the bandit angel quite a lot myself. I might consider it more if I didn't already have a couple pomacanthus and takes every ounce of will to hold back on adding a 3rd. And unlike the conspicuous, I do find the bandit quite attractive. the black and white is quite sharp and contrasting- something you can spot from across the room. I recall seeing it in the Waikiki Aquarium and had it on my bucket list- until I learned of its price. The skin/scale is pearly and very reflective. Again, the price tag isn't pretty on bandits either, but at least I can buy in on the appearance quite a bit more in this case.I just wanted your opinion as an ‘artist’.
I quite like Bandit angels but I guess I should reconsider.
For whatever reason, there are fish that just make us say nope. Aggression, fragility, bad luck, just plain ugly, etc...A great big ole pile of nope.
What is your "nope fish" and why?
Mine are the eared eel blenny or wolf eel and the yellow damselfish.
The wolf eel was one of my first predatory fish. From the start, the fish just gave me the creeps. Vicious and ugly, with a face that looks like an old thug mobster... lazy until times called for violence... that one specimen put me off and I have never desired to keep another one.
The Yellow Damsel I picked up as a kid, while i was learning about the hobby, was the first fish introduced to my 75 gallon aquarium. Alone, it was personable and interactive...always seemed to greet me when i came into my room. And then i decided to add more fish. I had always loved huma huma triggers and my mother picked up a small one. In the tank it went and the yellow damsel did what damsels do...bullied the equal sized trigger constantly. Woke up the morning after introducing the fish only to find it finless and near death...the yellow damsel making harassing passes at the little thing while it attempted to hide behind the heater. I caught out the little trigger and put it in my Q tank but it was too far gone. I tried then to find something that could hold its own and possibly eat the yellow monster...a lionfish came to mind. I got one that was definitely large enough to eat the damsel...but like david and goliath, the smaller fighter felled the giant...this time before it was beaten to death, i pulled the lionfish out and held it in my Q tank until i could convert a 45 tall that i had for the lion. I tried an eel, an undulated trigger, a grouper...all repelled and beaten by the 2 inch long yellow tyrant. Ultimately i had to break down the tank and catch the critter out before i could add anything else. I swore never again.
Cheers!
LOL, you would hate my tank. It's a 56g with a royal gramma, a firefish goby, 2 different blennies, and 2 pajama cardinals. I do not have chromis but I do have 6 yellow tail damsels. You might like my tomini tang?For whatever reason Royal Gramma's to me are kind of dull, and way more trouble than they'd ever be worth IMO.
Same with Firefish.... I hate avid jumpers.
Some blennies are boring.
I'm not really into Chromis or Cardinals, or any fish that live largely only in the water column and have very little personality.
Favorites are my mystery wrasse and one day I hope I can have a tank big enough for a nice bat fish I think they're super cool.
Oh same. I love those ornate puffers, but they would destroy my precious invertebrates. Oh the other day I nearly died when I saw a baby Valentini puffer at the LFS. He was literally as long as a paper clip. Tried to use my hand for scale, but he was smaller than that.I would love to have a trigger or puffer, but afraid of what they'd do to my inverts or other fish
This could be an excuse to get a fuzzy lionfish! Those guys are so cute.The evil neon dottyback, can't wait until mine dies.

i have one myself and I really like him actually, he’s grown quite a bit and I think he’s got a great personality in my opinion he’s a great beginner fish because most beginners start out with small tanks, and most beginners also don’t want to spend too much so they’re the perfect fish “in my opinion”Ha! I thought I was the only one that thought that...so many people buy them for their tanks and they don't do anything. LOL
