Really hard question as I love all my fish so none are actually a favorite, but I do have one very special fish, Jethro my common plec, he is adorable and was in a horrific state when I got him (so was his tank mate Gibbs) but Jethro was in far worse condition with terrible ripped fins, full of parasites and desperately thin. It took me 6 weeks to get him over the worst and had to almost force feed him as he was so weak. Now he is like a big sloppy dog, comes when he is called and loves nothing more than a good tickle.

Sorry pic is rubbish, it was hard to hold the camera while he was kissing my other hand lol

He is about 16". I would love to have the space to build a huge tropical pond and fill it with all the unwanted large plecs that i see advertised. I think they are fantastic, so graceful and clever.

Garra flavatra in my sig

Too keep the plec theme going, I want a albino sailfin pleco at some point. I'm not a pleco person, but I was amazed by a albino sailfin at last years fish show. He was big ~16". Here's video of him at the show.
