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.
Due to my tank size, longnose hawkfish. The universe is trying to tell me i cant have it lol.

For me, It's big tangs. I had a 187g but even then felt like it wasn't going to big enough for my blond naso and found a local reefer with a 1000g system to take it. I still think about building a huge cylinder tank just for tangs.

A big 1.5foot atlantic blue tang... I plan to get a atlantic blue but I would never have the capacity to be able to get one to that size.
I saw some that size in aruba when I went diving and they were so cool.
Saw hundreds of them swarming around me in aruba when i fed the, they ate right out of my hand, Saw some large angels as well. I stayed in the best spot for snorkling in Aruba near malmok beach.
