My Valentini puffer! Love him, he'll even fight the tangs at feeding time

My female clown is a lot of fun to watch. Even if she tries to kill my every time I put a hand in the tank…

same! too bad I cant turn mine out in the yard, be one heck of a watch... fish!

 

[i cant think]

I find it entertaining to watch my wrasse, CBB and tang interact with their surroundings along with my Foxface changing colours depending on his mood and if he’s swimming or not

 

[unchaotic]

Lawnmower blenny for the win.

Dottybacks are extremely fun to watch. The way the move in and out of rocks, they are extremely smart as well. Great fish to own.

I like to own fish with character. I hate stupid fish. That is why cichlids always have a place in my house.

Six Line Wrasse 100% - it's picked up the personality of my clowns and is just a riot to watch.

 

[Swordsman82]

I currently have a yellow goby and firefin goby that are super interactive with themselves and me.

 

[James_O]

Yes! Well… sort of. My clownfish are really entertaining, just because of their spunk and personality.

My sunrise dottyback is fun to watch, but he rarely comes out.

And my orange spot diamond goby is super boring. He just sits in the same spot all day long. ;Hilarious

most entertaining is my Copper Band Buttlerfly followed by six line and flame angel.

My Firefish Turbo easily

 

[boacvh]

most entertaining is my possum wrasse, has the craziest swim patterns. Followed in a close second by my foxface

 

[Jacked Reefer]

I love my rainfordi goby! He's got a lot of spunk and the sand sifting behavior is so much fun to watch. As well as it helps that he eats my algae too.

But my favorite is my recent acquisition A dwarf seahorse! He cruises between blades of seagrass and is always inquisitive about something. his curiosity reminds me of a baby, just so enthralled with everything around him. It also help that they are really expressive fish too.

I love my fish. I'll take personality over looks any day. If I could have a 100% reef safe puffer, it would be my first fish!

My copper band butterfly is a laugh. But, she's probably a meany pants.
I watch my cbb dive bomb my foxface daily. Fox is 2x the length, hasn't gotten hurt yet. Clowns, they're clowns.

The way fish behave around each other can be amazing.

Other: I have no fish at the moment (I plan to, shortly, for my macro tank).

1. I could watch the Anchovies at the Aquarium of the Bay (San Francisco) for days! I love the massive, yet fantastically coordinated schools that they form!

2. N/A, though I was always fascinated by the fish in my past freshwater systems.

Bluespotted Jawfish. Loves to host in my Goni. Constantly building and rebuilding his dens.

 

[G Santana]

Hands down Mando the Mandarin.
Watching him hover upside down looking for pods is free entertainment!!!

 

[melonheadorion]

i have a pair of fish that are fun to watch. my diamond goby and my bi color angel. the bi color angel is like that little brother that just wont go away and does the "im not touching you..." as the diamond goby just wants to sift sand. the goby will just be like get away from me and open his mouth super wide

I have same problem with my female. For the last few yrs I haven't put my hand too far into the water without the long coralife gloves on.

Curious, what kind of damage will she do? Mine snapped at my about 6 times in 3 sec, scared me and I yanked my hand out. Will she actually cause damage?
