Ok, so I thought it would be cool idea if everyone wrote what their favourite fish is and provide a picture and a reason as to why it is your favourite fish. Here's mine.

My personal favourite fish is the Clown tang, i love this species becuase they excillerate such great activity and are very fun to watch.

You need some more options or 'Other' will win by a mile.

Hawkfish
Goby
Wrasse
Blenny

I added a few choices. It's definitely angels for me!!!!

SO why didn't you vote for tangs.

I love the Hawkfish...unfortunately it knocks out too many tank mates

Don't want to take this :offtopicby why do you think that??

I added dottybacks - but it is hawkfish for me :D

Love tangs, but not the blue tang and yellow tang. Purple tang is pretty epic fish.

Orchid doty back would be suited to your tank. Stunning fish mate sorry for the off topic

Matt if you wanted to make your dream tank, what fish would you stock in it?

 

[n0rk]

Not to nitpick, but most of those would be families, not genera ;)

My favourites... oddly enough... are Angelfish (pretty much all of the Pomacanthidae). Well, actually, it's a pretty even spread between Butterflies and Angels, but there's very little morphological difference between the two worth bringing to note so it's a moot point anyway. But... most of them are captivating. Their behaviours are some of the most exciting I've observed, and hell, they tend to look pretty great as well. Couldn't ask for a better combo as far as I'm concerned...

Schools of interesting anthias, and a variety of angels. Love queens and majestics, cons pics are beautiful. Just need a huge tank to house them!!

Y'all gonna be jealous much but :p my favourite fish is the Humphead Moari Wrasse (Cheilinus undulatus). I've been fortunate to work with these incredible animals are they are by far the most fascinating fish I have ever worked with. So much personality there almost human, everyone has a different personality.. Some are cheeky, some are docile, some are agro, and some are just that friendly and laid back you'd almost mistake it for the family dog. Top that off with unreal looks and amazing colouration, you've got a pretty unbeatable fish IMO. Shame they get huge and you need a license to keep one if you had the room. A close 2nd would be Zebra Sharks (Stegostoma fasciatum) pretty much the big, dumb, docile labradore of the fish world.

 

[firebird]

how did you end up working with them-what do you do?

:offtopicI worked for Cairns Marine. :)
