what fish are the most fun to watch?

[BRADventure89]

My yellow fang blenny is probably the most entertaining in my tank.

Every time I have my hand in the tank he wants to come hang out on it, and I'm like pleeeaaassee don't bite me little fella

Out of curiosity does your fang blenny turn a darker color at night? I just picked one up a few days ago and noticed tonight it sleeping on top of a magnifier magnet and it looked much darker than it is during the daytime. Also having trouble getting it to eat much? What does yours like? Haven’t been able to find too much detailed info online yet.

i dont know of the fang blenny specifically, but its not uncommon for fish to change color. i have a sailfin/algae blenny that gets much darker at night

Yeah I’ve noticed many species do so I’m trying not to worry too much about it.

I loved my flame hawkfish. He would come right up to the front of the tank when I came into the room and stare at me, then track me with his eyes if I moved around. I named him Frogger because he would wiggle from rock to rock and it made me think of the video game.

Yes, mine turns darker at night.

Mine has been eating very well since I first got him. Like any other fish, it can take time to get them eating good.

My Green Clown Goby almost begs for food, plus will watch every move I make.

I have several favorites. Long nose Hawk is super cool. Yellow wrasse. Lawnmower blenny. Engineer goby.

My engineer gobi, I have 2, are so cool to watch . they look like a little eels swimming around the tank. They’re constantly moving the sand in my tank.

Naoko wrasse crazy swimmer flashes his fins like a mini shark. Hence the reason they call it the shark wrasse.

I just got my second one because they're such fun. Day two and its already hand feeding. Favorite normal fish.

 

[vetteguy53081]

Easy answer- all of them. Reason I picked everyone in the tank

Blue Spotted Jawfish. Remind me of a cartoon character.

I have a 75g saltwater tank. 2 ocellaris and 1 yellowtail currently. The ocellaris are so fun to watch, they swim so much and even interact with me when I come to the tank. They're full of personality.

What are some of your favorite fish to watch in your tank? Personality, swimming patterns, etc.

Videos included are worth extra points.

Trying to get ideas on how to further stock my tank.

don't have time to read all the replies so hopefully im not repeating but (as a fairly peaceful fish) I picked up a long-nose hawk fish a few weeks ago and the activity and personality is quickly making it one of my favorite of all time. Ive had quite a few unique aggressive fish witch are always fun to watch feed ect. for example all triggers I've kept were very active and interactive (probably because they seem to always be hungry..) but I'm not sure those would be the best fit for what you currently have. Just a couple for thought.

Definitely my flame hawkfish has to be the most fun to watch. His eyes will follow you everywhere.

 

[tcarstens4]

Personally- yellow coris wrasse, copper banded butterfly, helferichi firefish and our bellus angelfish are my favorites

lol. Late evening here and I'm just seeing this post. Oddly enough, I shot a short video just today of my Goby without knowing this post was here. He has, by far, been a total blast to have in the tank. First he has his own cave space under the center rock structure in my tank. He moves so much gravel around it. Constantly taking gravel down in the hole and then later on, bring it back out. And he is somewhat protective of it too.

So mid-day, I put some flake food into the tank for a feeding. This always brings some snails up out of the gravel. One happened to come up and sit in the "threshold" of his cave. He wasn't haven't it! I've seen him do this many times. First time I tried catching a video!

Love your scape.

I love my 3 golden assessors and 2 Randall assessors in a 22 gallon nano . As matter of fact I built the tank just for them and I managed to get them before the prices went sky high from that fish place Lancaster.Pa.

I miss my golden accessor and Randall assessor. They were killed when my house was robbed. Too expensive to replace them.

I am surprised no one has mentioned the flame hawkfish. Super cool fish in my opinion with a tonne of character.

I was thinking flame hawkfish. I don't have one, but they do have a lot of personality and look so cute posing.
