Top 10

[jkrekord]

Alright, well i think it will be a bit of lighthearted fun and also rather interesting if we all give our personal top 10 Freshwater Tropical Fish, if you want to give reasons why these fish are your favourites then thats fine, however it is'nt totally neccessary.
I will start us off...
1. Red Tail Black Shark - The fish that first got me interested in tropical fish many years ago
2. Bronze Puffer (Auriglobus Modestus) - I love puffers and this has gotta be the most gorgeus freshwater one
3. Oscar - Big aquatic pet, i would certainly like to own one in the future
4. Firemouth - Just a stunning fantastic fish
5. High Fin Wolf Fish - (E. Erythrinus) - A superb oddball, total monster, and suitable for relativley small tanks
6. Dwarf Puffer - So cute, and small, thus makein them perfect for smaller tanks
7. Ornate Birchir - An ancient lookin predator, fantastic
8. Kribensis - My old one was by far my fovourite fish, plus they are very nicely coloured, and easy to breed
9. Black Ghost Knife - Just look so cool
10. Siamese Fighter - Many varietys, beutiful fish, and rather personable, also female sorority tanks are great
