Since we’re talking dream fish.

A Unicorn/puppy fish would be cool and super cute for my kids.

An opera or rap (I know, very opposite) singing fish is a definite. (Changed this to rapping opera fish)

Lastly, a bottle opener fish that jumps out of the water to open my beer. That one should probably first. A real crowd pleaser.

Interuptus angel- Got it!
Gem tang- got it!
Conspicuous angel- too rich for my blood unless someone feels generous
Lol how is a conspicuous angel to rich but not a gem tang!
Mine is a powder blue tang- have it!
A unicorn tang
And an Achilles tang
Although once I complete that list one day I'll probably have made a new one.

Mine would be
Marine betta: got it
Pearlscale butterfly: still looking

Third would be an arapaima, sadly I will most likely will never own because I can’t afford a 10,000 gallon tank.

Research for one. I have to do more reading on them. My tank is only 40 gallons without a sump. I think they need larger? That and the fact that I can’t fond them locally.

How much are they now a days? 40 may be the minimum. They are more of a stalking fish than swimmer. They can do well on fewer but larger meals but mine is happy taking smaller pieces of frozen with the rest of the tank. He's awesome

Is that a scooter dragonet you already have?

I saw a niger trigger in an lfs, it was in a massive fowlr with an ausi harlequin tusk and a load of angels and butterflies.

It looked awesome and I don't know if it was the lighting but it seemed to change shades of blue to purple. Beautiful fish.
I have niger trigger and my favourite with my limited fish . Fantastic personality and incredible blue colour.
My dream fish is Moorish idols in a very large system. Remember diving with them when I grew up in South Africa.

1. Japanese Dragon Eel

2. A wartskin angler with great patterns like this:

3. Giant sized Emperor Angel

...runner up is an Aus. Harelquin Tusk which I already have but still counts as a dream fish.

Quoy's parrotfish ... in my display.

Regal angelfish ... in QT; fingers crossed!

Last is kind of a tossup between two personalities that couldn't be more different - Copperband butterfly and Powderblue tang.

There are others, for sure . . .

My Answers would probably be considered boring: Blonde Naso, Blue Hippo and Achilles Tang - Don't think I would ever have a tank big enough though.

He’s beautiful! How large do they get? And would false percula become a meal? Lol
