Your favourite fish

[Noah Hemingway]

What is your favourite fish that you own and why? Personality, Behaviour, Beauty. Tell me all about your favourite fishy friend My favourite is my Domino Damsel! He is a jerk and only shares a tank with a chalk goby. But he just has the best personality! Always keeps me on my toes! He also recently starting hosting my first anemone which is really great to watch! He thinks he’s a shark in a tiny fish body and honestly I find him amusing hahah!

Skunk Tile Fish

Tons of personality and extremely smart! Do well in pairs or more and are not aggressive in my experience with them. Only issue is they are picky eaters when you first get them.

A Mandarin Dragonet that eats like a horse. Copepods, blood worms, brine, mysis - you name it - it's developed a taste for it! We've almost got it to the point where we can also hand feed it, which is cool. Just a very laid back, chill fish. Because he eats frozen we can also keep him in a smaller 25 gallon tank (which would otherwise be far too small to support a healthy copepod population).

I have never had any kind of tile fish but they do seem very interesting to keep! They’re definitely a fish I would consider in the future )

I like juvenile domino damsels. I find the adults aren't nearly as interesting looking. I do like the sounds that they make.

Despite my username, my favorite fish is probably the engineer goby. It is interesting to watch a small group of them growing to adulthood with all of the behavioral changes and changes in appearance. They also have fascinating behavior in the wild.

There's two
The color and movement

The clown is the alpha. She rules the tank. I love how she cares for the bta

My naso tang. His personality is pretty cool.

Banded leporinus. Not only is it beautiful, but it’s also just awesome in personality!
He seems to be always thinking, waiting for the next move of you and his tankmates. One of the meanest fish I’ve owned too.

My favorite fish are my clowns. First in the tank love em

I love white-spotted pygmy filefish for personality and my dragonet pair also are beautiful and I like to watch them hop around. They spawn in the tank too.

Best personality fish for me are always blenny's. I think they come across as having an "attitude" obviously they don't they're fish but I like em.

I used to have one with a foot long Oscar and the little leo (only 7 inches at the time) was the boss hahaha

One that I don’t own anymore but deeply regret selling was my goldflake angelfish. Got it the size of a quarter and raised it to about the size of a half dollar before it started nipping. Gorgeous fish with an awesome personality. I will certainly buy another at some point

 

[sfin52]

That is a BEAUTIFUL clown!!

Thanks. Heather my wife picked both out.

Mine would be my juvenile marine betta. I got him at the beginning of the year, and he was roughly the size of a fairy wrasse.

He's an oddly good eater for a marine betta, taking food directly from my hand, and even eating sinking pellets meant for the other fish.

While they are usually shy, mine comes right to the front of the tank to greet me, and might be the only fish in my reef that truly recognizes and interacts with me.
(Please excuse the photobombing hawkfish)

I have a Ruby Red Dragonet feeding frozen and although I am trying but had not much success so fare establish pods in my tank.
He is a beautiful fish though

That wrasse is beautiful! Is that a Melanurus wrasse?
