What's that one fish that you absolutely love and want to have but can't. Whether it's because of tank size, tank type, budget or some other reason.
I would love to have a queen angel but my tanks not big enough, I have a Mixed reef, and they can be difficult to get.
They are my favorite fish to see when I go diving.

I would love an Achilles one day but currently it’s one I likely won’t have as the largest tank I can have is 5’ long and its also a fish that’s an ich magnet and I don’t QT fish.

As for other fish, the list can go on and on but here’s my main list of 5;
1. Abei Angelfish
2. Personatus Angelfish
3. Lanceolatus Wrasse
4. Flashing Tilefish
5. Red Tail Tamarin Wrasse

For me a moorish idol is a grail fish.
I don't have a tank big enough though & I've heard very few success stories.
I'm a little divided morally about the idea of taking them out of their natural environment when the chances of a happy ending in captivity are so slim also.
