Most Beauitiful Fish

[sic0198]

I use threads like this to give myself a "heads up" hopefully you'll benefit from this too. I want some opinions what are in your opinion as the most beauitiful or favorite non aggressive freshwater fish (NAFW), aggressive freshwater fish (AFW), non aggressive saltwater fish (NASW), aggressive salt water fish (ASW), and oddball fish (aggressive or non aggressive) (ODD).

I'll start.

Burmese Border Loach (NAFW)
Johanni Cichlid (AFW)

Clownfish (NASW)

Black Ghost Knife (ODD)

Tie for non-aggressive freshwater. Demasoni is more beautiful than festae except when she's breeding.

Demasoni (non-aggressive fw)

female festae in breeding colors (non-aggressive fw)

S. rhombeus (aggressive fw)

NAFW:
It's in your avatar, the Botia kubotai, or Polka-Dot Loach

AFW:
Jack Dempsey

ODD:
Ornate Bichir (Polypterus Ornatpinnis)

As a NASW I'll say the gorgeous, pouting leafy sea dragon.

ok, THIS is the most beautiful fish, plus its a snakehead, so what more could you ask for!

Channa Sp. fluoro green

:drools:

oh its an ODD, but quite an aggressive one

(NAFW)
Red-Lined Torpedo Barb (Puntius denisonii)
Banded Apisto (Apistogramma bitaeniata)

(AFW)
I can't decide which cichlid I like best. Sooo, I'm switching gears.
Dwarf Puffers are adorable, fun, AND can fit so neatly into a smaller tank. Yay!

(NASW)
I'm going to have to second the sea dragon.

(ODD)
Any and all of the South American Knifefish.
Or bichirs.
Though neither are conventionally 'beautiful,' they've got that awesome, archaic look to them. Wonderful, smart fish that recognize their owners and display personalities of their own.

NAFW
Fancy tail guppies. Tails are so gorgeous and I just love guppy faces. Or clown loach... they're so cute.. even when they get big!

AFW
Black ghost knife.. I think they're aggressive right? Well I just love the way they look when swimming. So pretty. Saw that you listed it as ODD.. not sure why it would be considered oddball though?
I of course love my bettas as well

NAFW
Manta Ray..the angels of the sea.

And reading more about them.. I'm really starting to like Wolf Eels... not sure if they're aggressive or not.. they have the most awesome faces though! lol Look like grumpy old men

Balloon Blue Ram, I love the colours they flash when swimming around, I also love the freash water sole (I think it's called, it's a flat fish that hangs around the bottom, reminds me of a stingray - I've seen it in the LFS but as a newby haven't got it yet in case it dies on me!!) (NAFW)

I just love the look of a school of angels (AFW)

?? (NASW) Not up to speed with salt water

And I can't go past the Black Ghost Knife fish either, they're amazing to watch (ODD)
