In the future I would love to set up a tank for a school of baby coral catfish, but they are known to be highly venomous. (some people even say they are more venomous than lionfish) They can also grow to decent sizes (12-14 inches) so they would require a large tank. I first encountered them at my first job which was a pet store, we would get them in tiny sizes and they would always school together and looked absolutely adorable with their little whiskers. Let me know if anybody else shares an odd affection toward these little guys.
