What Is Your Favourite Tropical Fish?

[Sophie]

As the title says - Can be your favourite fish, your dream fish to keep or even your dream set up/stocking.
Post pictures if you can.
 
My favourites are Fire Eels - or any type of Eel really.
Will have one in my 805L tank with a Red Tiger Oscar, an Albino Red Tiger Oscar and my Clown Loaches once they are big enough to not become dinner - perhaps a Labeo Shark although I've heard nasty stories!

Has to be the Black Ghost Knife... so unique it literally hurts. But seriously, I could create an entire thread based around people's reactions to their first BGK sighting.

Gorgeous I agree! Mines been settling in nicely for the past 48 hours, found himself a nice cave and venturing out during the day time too on occasion which is nice. I remember falling in love with the one my mother had when I was a child - South American natives believe that the ghosts of the departed/their ancestors take up residence in these fish. An interesting back story too!

A heavily planted 6 footer with shoals of wild type Angel fish and Cardinal Tetras has long been my dream tank.

Altum's would be lovely, but any of the barred wild type's would keep me happy.

My dream tank is 110gl planted with 6 discus, a large school of cardinal tetras and some angels (if they really do go with discus) Discus is my favorite freshwater fish.
 
My favorite fish I have right now is the dojo loach. I love watching him. To me it looks like playing in the sand.
 
I love all types of shrimp. I would like to when I have the space and money upgrade my SW tank and use the 55gl for nothing but different species of shrimp and throw a nice school of panda corydoras in there. Lots of tall plants and driftwood with river rocks. Doesn't that sound heavenly.

Thanks for putting that up Sophie, like the voice over said, 'Majestic' can't say anymore than that really.

Any particular colour Discus?

Beautiful aren't they? Such a lucky man - I'd spend all day everyday with them.

I like the bright oranges and the deep reds but I really love the more natural colors too. Maybe a mix of all 3 as long as they are the tank bred ones that are a bit hardier. But I love a challenge!

My dream set up would be a heavily planted iwagumi style 1000 gallon tank with about 35 discus and a school of maybe 300-400ish cardinals..

My favorite fish I own would have to be scarlet badis or samurai gouramis.
