What Family Of Fish Do You Think Has Most Character?

[JohnRossDele]

Hi, what family of fish do you think has most character?
this means that it will come to the front of the tank when u come to feed them or they can create a huge bond in which the owner can hand feed or touch fish without shyness

Bettas are gouramis.... I went with catfsh I think my black cory has more personality then my betta. He also prefers the mid level alot more then th albinos or peppered corys he is in with.

Bettas are not Gouramis,they are Anabantoids as are Gouramis.

New World Cichlids all day.

You forgot to mention Clown Loaches,they have loads of personality.

Although I love the antics of all cichlids, and think cories are particularly fun to watch when they play - I can't neglect the wonder that is: Male live-bearers never ending attempts to "get laid"

Ok so they dont have the personalities in the way that other fish have - but they certainly have character, and a lot of (wanna put sp**k ..but shouldnt)...... um.. manliness.

Admin - hopefully that was done sensitively enough.

I voted NW cichlids because of my oscars BUT in my experience catfish, plecs and oddballs can be equally characterful - my Clarias eats from hand and my senegal bichir has a taste for floating cichlid pellets which is funny to watch. I used to have a gold nugget plec that would latch onto my hand when I was cleaning the tank.

NW Cichlids all the way.

I have kept a very wide range of NW Cichlids, and I couldn't agree more shelagh. I have had several O's and every one of them had massive personality. I have a large pair of Synspilum at the moment, and the male seems to have PMT most of the time, and can be very amusing to watch.
