What's your favorite?

I don't have any yet My new 50 gallon is on the way, and the 200 gallon peninsula won't be shipped until the end of the month, and my sump won't ship until March. I really like clams and plan on having several, and I think the emperor angel is awesome, possibly a bamboo shark, laboutei, anything only after a ton of research. I'm still setting up, so I'm just starting to look around at what other people really like to get a good idea on a start of a stock list.

They are absolutely stunning. I've never even seen that species before!

This is what they looked like as juveniles:

My Copperband Butterly is currently that top dawg. My magnificent Foxface is right there as well!

Beautiful pics so far! My favorite fish so far is my orange spotted goby. He has so much personality. He's hilarious!

Have you seen that video of a Jawfish and this guy bickering?

No I haven't. That's gotta be a great video!

 

[EvanDeVita]

Hey speaking of the orange spotted goby, mine does not, lack of a better word, inhale the sand like that. I've never seen him do it. Normal? Sorry not hijacking the thread but seeing that video though made me curious.

Rainford Goby. He’s pretty rad.

It’s totally fine! That is strange that yours doesn’t sift the sand... if he’s alive he must have found a way to eat so I wouldn’t worry about it

 

[MZReef120]

Yea he is still alive and when I feed the tank he goes nuts on the frozen food.

For me its a dead heat between these 2 guys, my Assasi and Clown trigger.

Awesome! I've been wanting a trigger fish for some time, but I don't have the tank size yet. What size are you rocking?

 

[Hugh Mann]

Greyfaced Moray Eel.
Very, very close second is Marine Betta.
Only reason the eel is number one is because he's smiley in pictures and I can hand feed him.

It seems they’re slow growers!

How big would you expect yours to top out at? LiveAquaria says 10” and FishBase says 15” but I’ve asked 10+ members, some of who’ve kept their Purples and similar Tangs (Zebrasoma, except Sailfins) for 5+ and 10+, some 20+ and largest I’ve heard was 7-8”.

Nice! Is your Foxface the Lo or One Spot? What’s its size and how long have you had it for? Much growth at all?
