Whats Your Favorite Fish And Why?

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.
i thikn mine may be a salfin Plec.

He's going to grow WAY too big for my tank..

he's aready 3-4 inchs :crazy:

That plec in the video was lovely :drool: , not really a plec person myself I recently got two Bristlenose (don't know what sex) , the Red Bruno I have only seen pictures of and recently seen some butterfly plecs at a garden centre , beautiful , if I still had my community tank set up I would have snatched a pair there and then , that's impulse , lovely fish... :good:
 
My real favourite is my Julidochromis Dickfeldi , it doesn't swim but hovers like a humming bird , very graceful and peaceful , it nevers bothers the other fish in the tank and it takes no nonsense from any of the other fish either, wish I knew if it was male or female and I could get it a friend :wub:
