What’s your favorite “colorless” fish?

[DrZoidburg]

If you go back to freshwater not much beats the glass fish.

Convict tangs simple yet pretty

I agree with this - I have seen the Hawaiian convicts but I prefer the Indonesian and these guys were a tang I was going to consider before I meant my love for the goldrims!

Gobiesox clingfish anyone? I hear they are super personable and I hope to obtain one someday.

Stippled clingfish (Gobiesox punctulatus)


Skilletfish (Gobiesox strumosus)

I love my Sleeper Blue Dot Gobies. Milky white with hard to notice dots on their gills makes a rather plain fish. But they have the most personality in the tank. I sit and just watch them as they interact with others and rearrange the sand bed. And even with all their activity, they don’t cover corals with sand!

The linear blenny! Has a little bit of orange, and a ton of personality

I have the stippled, it tends to stay in the back part of the tank and since its black you can barely notice it if it stays still, but watching it swim on the glass is super cool

The Banded Dragon Goby is my favorite

I love my Cling fish it likes for me to pet it and is always at the top begging for attention

What do they eat?

Everything. He catches everything that flows by his mouth. I thought getting it to eat would be hars but nope, super easy. He does like to hunt pods and mine eats little pieces of shrimp from the supermarket

Engineer goby. Not really a goby but a weird subspecies that grows out to an extreme length (12+In) and essentially looks like a eel in a reef safe tank.

though my last attempt at an engineer goby died in QT so they may be kinda sensitive

Like impossible to find RN! But one of the best schooling reef fish out there

So since many people don’t class black as a colour, I’ll say this is by far my favourite! Black Clown Goby, also goes by the name Midnight Coral Goby. By far the best personality fish I’ve ever watched! Here’s a photo of mine, it only went into the tank today so it’s still acclimating to the tank.

I’ve had him for almost two months… time really goes by!! He’s a wonder to have, hovers in the water column randomly throughout the day and perched on rocks aswell as the glass!!

They are sensitive to things with copper in so if the levels get too high they will probably die. They aren’t sensitive to anything else though, I’ve owned one and I got to watch it change completely. If I could have another I would but my tank hasn’t got the room.

The linear blenny! Has a little bit of orange, and a ton of personality

Again. This I can completely agree with. They always have a different pattern depending on the environment!! Mine went from almost completely grey and black to having more white stripes, black and grey and a much brighter orange. You will never find a linear blenny that looks identical or even similar to yours!!

What about a good old zoramia leptacantha?

Not sure but imo also a good schooling fish.

 

[Ober_Reef]

Mine would have to be my Flame Tail Tomini Tang, not colorless in my opinion but definitely could be compared to other beautiful fish in this hobby.
