id have gouramis of all kinds, and severums in there too, i was just picking things i dont already have..

 

[kribensis12]

Hmmm. I would love to own:

Breeding Pair of Discus
Beeding pair of gorgeous Angelfish
Clownfish!

1. Pseudomugilidae. A good collection of. They are the smallest and cutest of the Australian rainbows but too picky for any tanks I have at present. I particularly want Pseudomugil gertrudae, Pseudomugil mellis (a coolwater) and Pseudomugil connieae.
2. Three beacon pleco L091 and one of the false zebra complex, L236 - 236 is HOT!!! http/www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_DWGkEsJ-k...feature=related
3. Pantodon, the African butterfly. (That WILL be happening when I get my paludarium, I'm planning the other stocking around a group of those.)

i do have to agree theres some pretty freakin awesome plecos out there too...

50 silver arowanas in an olympic swimming pool

Hey, this thread is timeless, and couldn't have more general appeal.
Personally, out of a whole bunch, some of my top three would probably include:
Boraras merah
Boraras uropthalmoides
Boraras maculatus

But I had to hunt for 2 of 3 names, so maybe by the time I start remembering any of the (hundreds!) ones I do want, I'll be able to get some...
(Help for the mentally afflicted, please...)

 

[Aphotic Phoenix]

Def. agree with Laura about the Pseudomugilidae...
2) Trigonostigma somphongsi (What can I say? I love tiny rare fish XD )
3) Argh...too many awesome possibilities...

 

[ally86ozzy]

umm 1.) Kribs, 2.) Blue or Gold Rams, 3.) Cockatoos (sp?) all different types of CICHLIDS! dwarf cichlids actually.

 

[SharonCC]

A very large tank with five Bala Sharks, and a school of Clown Loaches. Then I'd add my current Congo Tetras, add six more, and I'd be very happy....at least for a little while...my wish list is never ending!!!

 

[Davo86]

1. super red aro
2. Polypterus endlicheri congicus or even a Polypterus delhezi
3. Nandopsis octofasciatus blue

he he old thread, anyone else notice if you look in the first few posts there's quite a few people who said they wanted something years ago and in their sig now it say's they have it. nice

ummmm for me the semi realistic choices would be

1 - Oscar, I really miss mine and I want one again
2 - Congo tetra's - I know they're nothing that's particularly rare or exciting but I really like them but haven't the conditions to house them at the moment
3 - perfect pair of wild coloured angels - will get some soon when we get our new tank and find some that are up to scratch

slightly less realistic i'd love to have

1 - manta ray, that would be absolutely awesome
2 - one of those really massive frogfish that's about 12 foot across (perhaps a slight exaggeration)
3 - arapriama

 

[tyyrlym]

1) Red Line Torpedo Barb
2) Red tailed catfish
3) Cockatoo Cichlids

 

[Attilauk]

1) a large school of Pygocentrus cariba
2) Channa Bleheri
3) after seeing one in a MA i would love an Arowana of some sort

I was thinking the same thing

Asterophysus batrachus [URL="http/www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/auche...eroph/961_f.php"]http/www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/auche...eroph/961_f.php[/URL]

Merodontotus tigrinus [URL="http/www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/pimel...odont/354_f.php"]http/www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/pimel...odont/354_f.php[/URL]

Cephalosilurus fowleri [URL="http/www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/pseud...alos/1087_f.php"]http/www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/pseud...alos/1087_f.php[/URL]

I've got two of the three now (well ok i got a C.apurensis instead of a fowleri), just the tigrinus i never got and to be honest i don't really want one any more.

An updated list would be

Dragon knife fish Parapteronotus hasemani

A really high quality Asian arowana (never gonna happen unless i win the lottery)

A pair of tiger stingrays (and obviously the huge tank needed to house a pair)

To be honest apart from the Dragon knife i have all the fish I actually want, I pretty much buy fish just for the sake of it now

1) Ever since someone mentioned these in a biotope thread here, I've been wanting a school of Hyalobagrus ornatus or H. flavius catfish. But I haven't been able to find them.

2) Oscar(s). Some day I'll have the space for a big tank again...

3) Killifish.
