Great Swimming Fish: Who does it best?

[EugeneVan]

My all time favorite would be achilles tangs!

My melanaurus wrasse, Wilbur.

I will say my Power Blue and Power Brown are the like olympics swimmers. So much fun to watch them in the 200 gal

Wrasses. Specially those that like to sleep in the sand. There are times where they get startled, dart across the tank, bury themselves in the sand and peak their head out to make the coast is clear.

I also just really enjoy how they spend all day swimming around inspecting every inch of every surface. Unlike my tangs who could really care less about that algae growing on the rocks.

I went with Anthias only because as my lights dim for the night I like watching them "dart around" in what appears to be them snagging bits of food out of the water column that I cant see!

 

[LeftyReefer]

I am not sure what the question is. I think I need to finish my coffee.

Anthias and wrasse. Great swimmers and look good while running for it!
I think all adult reef fish know how to get through the currents.

I'll be back!

I picked anthias and wrasses too.

not even sure why clowns were an option... lol.

 

[A Young reefer]

Blue tangs!

 

[Pistol Peet]

I prefer to watch my spotted sweet lips swim around.

 

[liquidfire]

Love watching my small naso, Thompson and hippo tang swim about!

 

[Slocke]

My baby blue blue mandarins! They don't swim often but when they do they hover like fairy with their pectorals going like mad. Silver to my Midas blenny.

 

[design.maddie]

I wanted to pick Chromis, and Wrasse. I picked Wrasse and Anthias. I totally missed Tangs being on the list or I would have picked them as my top.

Who won in that standoff then?

 

[Calm Blue Ocean]

My midas blenny is my biggest swimmer. She's always out showing off, wiggling away. If it wasn't for her, you wouldn't know I had any fish sometimes!

 

[NanJ]

Tangs! Naso cruises the tank acting as if he is the king, causes little trouble, keeps everyone in line. Powder Brown is my favorite because he is busy, busy, minds his own business and is gorgeous. But maybe Tomini is my favorite because he swims around so elegantly and stays out of trouble unless Purple is being a butt that day.

 

[90's reefer]

Their is really only one.

My midas blenny is my biggest swimmer. She's always out showing off, wiggling away. If it wasn't for her, you wouldn't know I had any fish sometimes!

I also love my Midas blenny. He will perch a little but he is always out and about wiggling all over the tank.

 

[HB AL]

Eels, triggers, tangs etc...

 

[MoshJosh]

I don’t own one, but I voted wrasse, They are super fun!

it’s not on the list, but my favorite of the fish I’ve owned, even if it was only briefly, was an aptasia eating file fish.

 

[EugeneVan]

Who won in that standoff then?

On that day, I thinked the Power brown Lucky there are lots of open spaces as well as many caves in the aquascrape for them to escape.
