The best fish YOU don't own

[Gumbies R Us]

Let's have a discussion about fish we love but don't own. Maybe you owned them at one point, but not anymore. Maybe it is do to financial reasons, or maybe they are fish that are not possible to keep in a home reef tank.

Saltwater sharks. I used to have a marbled cat shark. 125 gallons wasn’t enough for it unfortunately. Wish I had the space and energy to have a shark tank with a couple sharks.

I've always wanted a purple tang, but due to likely aggression I've taken it off my list.

i would love to get a yellow tang and hopefully with the addition of yet another tank i will be able to keep one

Regal Angelfish (stunning colors), Leopard shark (they look so cool), Epaulette shark, Red Stripe Anthias (large anthias).

Now that would be something cool to own!

Flame angels have always been one of my top most wanted fish. Maybe one day when I get a bigger tank I will try one of those out.

Now that would be wild to have. I might have heard of those in the past? Interesting looking starfish!

Regal angels are one of those "iconic" looking fish to me. When I think of saltwater fish, those are one of the main ones I think of.

I really want to set up a small lower light/slightly lower temp tank for a pair of candy basslets. Gonna need a while to save up my pennies for those guys
