What is one fish you wish you could have in your tank right now?

[littlefoxx]

I feel like all of us have that one fish we wish we could keep in our tank, but maybe we can't for some reason. Maybe it is because it isn't compatible with the rest of the tank, it is rare and expensive, or maybe not feeling confident enough in keeping that particular fish. I am wondering what is the fish you wish you could have in your tank right now!

Queen angelfish due to their adult size and price. Beautiful fish

Flame angel

Anybody remember the personatus, true personifier, interruptus and peppermint angelfish days? Now people want yellow tangs, flame angels and flame wrasses... with good reason.

I have always wanted a Skeletor eel, I've been planning to keep one in my current tank for years, and my LFS just got a juvenile in that's smaller than a pencil. What's holding me back is that my lids don't fit tightly enough, and I'm not confident I could find it to feed it in my tank!

A porcupine puffer. I don’t think I’ll ever want a big FOWLR, but they’re so darn cute. I like visiting them elsewhere.

A close second would be a zebra or snowflake eel, for the same reasons.

Candy basslet since I have a small tank. Got a peppermint which is much cheaper but the colours of a candy is so amazing.

Queen angel or to blaspheme a mbu puffer

I love the garden eels and would love a bright yellow dogface like the one on the WWC Fowlr

I can see these in the wild locally

Tinkeri butterfly and bandit angel. I haven’t been able to source one for the longest time here in Sweden.
Just now at the worst possible time a pair of tinkeri just arrived at de Jong. I just started another tank that takes up what little time I have so the timing sucks!

Mandarin dragonet. Bullseye or psychedelic or ruby. These are my personal favorites but I’m not going to attempt to keep one because of the feeding requirements. Personally I think it’s inhumane that such a beautiful animal is sold so inexpensively. It’s like a noob magnet and the LFS will happily sell them to someone with a week old tank.
