I've had aquariums since I can remember, mostly freshwater. I still have several freshwater setups. My favorite being a 125 gallon with African cichlids, include Malawi eye biters. Twenty years ago I had a saltwater tank and because my husband worked at a fish shop we were able to rotate - keep something for a while and trade it in. My favorites were the tobacco basslet and lion fish (no not kept at the same time). But it wasn't a reef tank.

Fast forward... about two years ago I decided to get back into the hobby and set up a reef tank. It's been a fantastic journey. Now I've got two reef tanks and another one set up just for a gorilla crab. Right now my favorite fish are the tailspot blennies and the aptasia eating file fish. The file fish are shy, I'll work on getting some pictures of them and my corals.

The most exciting thing that happened recently was when a BTA split for me. Now I've got two of those lovely things!

And yes, the blennies did eat all that algae!

What's your favorite fish today?
