Haven't had a big enough tank yet. From what I have read people are having more success in keeping them now (still not great)

and the powder blue tang... tank size again.

I really want a golden dwarf moray eel but ive been holding out till i can justify the 200 dollars for one ha ha. and i also wanted a mants for the longest time. But i finally got one awhile ago :)

I almost forgot about Rhinopias frondosa the weedy scorpionfish... $500 at J&L right now. Cool fish that I have rarely ever seen. I know someone on here has one but thats just too expensive for me.

Mine would be a Moordish Idle - don't want to attempt to keep such beauty if I know the chances of it staying alive are very slim, IMO better left alone in the wild or to someone that can keep it.

And the other a coral beauty - for some reason I have NEVER had luck at keeping this beautiful fish, every one i have bought has died. I have tried about 5x and said to heck with it. No more coral beauties for me. lol.

Sharks and Rays. Can't convince the wife to let me dig up the backyard.......yet.....:biggrin: Oh that and the orange spot filefish.

Mine would be the emporer angelfish. I need a bigger tank, and my clams would not be happy, so probably will never happen.

I just wanted to comment on some of the "$200 is too expensive" posts. It is a lot of money but if you qualify it by considering it is only 4-5 corals that you'll probably kill anyway :mrgreen:, or maybe some fish, it's easier to stomach.
If my dream fish as only $200 I would buy it. I spent a lot of money on an animal for my tank once. I had a lot of trouble justifying it but then I decided to just sell some of my other livestock. It felt like I wasn't using "real money" to buy it but in truth, it was all real.

Has anyone noticed some Americans spend a lot of money on some of their fihes and corals? Sorry but I'm not spending $100 for a single zoathid polyp; I don't care if it will grow to 5 in a year. I don't think there would be many dopes out there like me who would pay for my surplus. We don't seem to do that here.

I would get another reticulated puffer. I had one for awhile, but alas he died. He was such a personable fish. Had a real relationship going with my dog. They would sit and stare at each other for hours. I mean, I can understand my dog staring at him (he looked just like the dog's favorite tennis ball :lol:), but the fish would actually come and sit at the glass in front of the dog. That part I could never figure out. I miss that fish. We both do. :cry:
