I know for me, there are a lot of fish I want in my tank but can't due to the size of my tank. I am wondering what are some fish you want in your tank, but due to some reason you can't have them in your tank? Curious to see what everyone says!

Dogface.

Had one in my FOWLR years ago and absolutely loved that fish. Can't have because I went mixed reef route this time

This guy! This was my favorite fish, had him for years, but had to downsize during a move and had to give him up. I hope to set up another puffer tank one day.

The Singapore angelfish; It's not rare or expensive, but it's not trustworthy around the LPS that I like to keep. In any other world I would have a pair of them.

clownfish(yet)(cycling lol). jokes aside, jellies :D
jellies would be so cool to have. Every time me and my wife see jellyfish whether it's at a trade show or at an aquarium she points out how she would want some.

orange spotted filefish, and it isn't because they're hard to feed. I just don't have time to feed them in the mornings (same reason i don't keep anthias) I might try to find a way to keep the filefish anyway ;)

Right there with you haha
Me too.. I only have Nala my dwarf lion now. Surrendered my other lions after one stung me again since Im deathly allergic to them. Been put in the hospital twice by the volitan! He actually showed aggression the second time, was moving something and he came across the tank and stung me!!! Had to take it to the LFS the next day.
