I would like to put the infomation onto a website

Thanks

You forgot to mention the highly sought after CodWithFishAndChips fish. But only on a Saturday night after a skin full.

Rarest and most sought after are not mutually inclusive.

There are many rare fish which are not sought after either because they do not appeal to aquarists, or because the hobby is unaware of them. A number of highly sought after fish are not rare at all (look at how many people want neons, that would make them highly sought after as almost all keepers want them at some time or another).

Also, how do you mean by rare? Rare in the trade, rare in British waters?

I would say such a list lies either as impossible, or subject to personal preference.

Im looking for fish that aquarists are seeking but are unable to obtain due to them being to expensive, rare, require special conditions

eg. Zebra Plec - I'm always seeing posts of people asking for these.

It was probably my fault for not wording my question to the exact standards of some members here, so I got the sarcastic responses.


I suppose the loch ness monster is the most sought after fish
