Discus
Massive school of Cory hastatus
congo tetras
veilfin tetras

Can't say what kind of fish I'd like to keep in the future...
I know... it's a very dull answer...

 

[anewbie]

I have the following on my wish list (more precisely will buy list after i move):
Krobia Xinguensis
Sphaerichthys selatanensis
Elizabethae apistogramma
and
Brevibora dorsiocellata

Actually this is not my full list but i think it is enough for this thread.

 

[Lajos_Detari]

I had kept most the fish that are in my wish list.
My wish list is probably the fish that I am keeping now - Geophagus Sveni, Satanoperca Daemon, Gymnogeophagus Balzanii.

Probably in the future(provided I have space), I may want to keep some shell dweller like the Golden Lamprologus Oscellatus and Neolamprologus Similis.
But I will have to adjust my tap water GH with GH minerals since I have soft water.

I may also switch my current Balzanii with Red Head Tapajos.

I think an angelfish tank would be cool. Or a tank of green tiger barbs.
But I think coolest of all would be a tank of native sticklebacks and mudminnows. I frequently catch them while seining, and invariably discount their value as aquarium fish. I’d like to give them a go sometime.

Angelfish tank is cool if you like watching them fight all day long:

Well, if I ever do get angelfish, I will teach them to get along.

I always thought hillstream loaches were cool, but just a little too big for the tank I have currently. They look like mini freshwater rays!

The fish on my wish list right now is grilled salmon for dinner...

My problem with hillstream loaches is temp requirement.

Do you just keep really warm aquariums? Room temp seems to be fine for them from what I've read, and temps are more flexible than a lot of other parameters.

 

[DragonScales+Doubletails]

my wish list consists of bettas. Imbelius, aliens, Etc. I've never even kept a long-finned betta before, plakats stole my heart.
yesterday at my LFS I saw a blue alien betta male which was in his youthful days priced for only $30. I'm very sad I don't have enough room for him.

Shell dwelling cichlids will be the next fish I get

I see 72ish as a good temp for them; during the summer we typically get to 78-80 indoors.

ah, that makes more sense. I'm guessing you live in the southern U.S?
