Future fish - Wish list

[Dburr1014]

Specifically which ones?

Bellus, wantanabi, or the spotbreast.
Wantanabi being 1st, bellus 2nd but I think buy the time a get a big enough tank, I may not be able to afford them.

group of pyramid butterflies - can't find them that are eating
red sea regal - extremely delicate fish. Not sure if I will ever get one
Personifer - $$$
scribbled - $$$

I can attest to the hardiness of the captive bred regals. Mine ate mysis, pellets, nori, and roe after a day or two. I’ve had him for around 18 months or so

French angel. But my tank's too small.
I really really miss mine

 

[Shibaken3]

garden eel

Quoyi parrotfish. They are adorable looking and have beautiful colors. Waiting for my tank to mature until I get one.

i saw an online store/collector list 40 gal as a min for one these guys :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: sure, a juvenile for 6 months

 

[The Roaming Reefer]

Grunt sculpin or sea moths would be pretty cool to have

Yikes!! Mine was as big as a volleyball!
40 gallon minimum just shows what people just don't know....

I miss my Quoyi Parrotfish, recently lost her in my move, and I probably can’t get another unless I rehome my PBT (which I might just do).

I’m nearing the end of my stocking list, but have a few spots left:

- Madagascar Flasher: have one on order, arriving next week
- Copperband Butterfly: My last attempt was a failure
- Potter’s Angel: Waiting for Hawaii to open up, or, Biota to lower their prices
- Quoyi Parrot: see above, but I actually want a small one, like 3” (the vast majority of the ones that enter the hobby are ~5+”
- Conspicuous Angel: Have one from Poma, but would love a pair

 

[Cthulukelele]

Biota mandarin. My main reason is worry about how it will get along with the other fish in the tank and also making sure it's getting enough food

 

[paragrouper]

Just think of all the fish that are not suitable for a 32 Gallon Tank and you have my rather large wish list. I would really like a yellow tang, but that is not in the cards until I can upgrade.

Regal Angel - I found one while on the road traveling for work, but it was covered in ich. Didn’t feel like trying to nurse it back to health. Never made it back there to determine it’s fate.

Black Leopard Wrasse - haven’t been able to locate one locally, LFS hasn’t seen them for sale in awhile. My local Petco had one, I didn’t want to support them but after almost two weeks I decide to pull the trigger, show up and it had a nasty bacterial infection. Let Petco do what it does best.

 

[Petcrazyson]

infection. Let Petco do what it does best.

That’s Petco for ya lol

Have you tried Dr. Reef for the Black Leopard?

I’m an outlier then, my PetCo has a knowledgeable aquarium section manager. Gets quality fish and is willing to take orders for unusual ones. Always healthy purchases. The only fish in the tank that didn’t come from there is my Mandarin. I’ve got the 2 clowns, 2 Bangaii, Orange Spot Blenny, Melanurus, and Red Velvet Wrasse there. Had purchased a Black Leopard and it was doing great until getting eaten by a rogue nem(since removed). Leery of online purchasing since I’ve been burned a few times.
Back to topic. I think I’d like to go with another Macropharyngodon wrasse whether it’s a Black or or other species.

Would love to have a butterfly fish. I have a 125 G 6' long tank, but I am scare to add it, as I learned they can be difficult to feed. I do not want to kill any fish, so I just abstain.
Also my tank is quite a few years old and should be considered well established. However I never see any pods in it. I bought some at least 3 times from 2 different vendors, and still no visible pods. That is another reason I do not dare to buy one.

Ive got a saddleback butterfly in my 125! He is super active and eats well

 

[Cichlid Dad]

Dogface puffer. The reason I have not purchased one is if I had a tank big enough it would be filled with coral!

 

[LaloJ]

When I was introduced to saltwater aquariums and saw a picture of the regal angelfish it became my dream fish when I was a teenager. Back then it was considered an impossible fish to keep in captivity. I don't keep corals, and some time ago I read opinions about the regal angelfish being boring in FOWLR, and since then I agreed with that, and I consider that the multibarred angel is my great desire for quite some time along with golden angelfish .

I'm a simple man. I'm all about my two phantom clownfish
