If you could have any fish what would it be?
If tank size and care wasn't an issue.
For me it would prolly be a midnight parrotfish, rainbow parrotfish and spotlight parrotfish.

I've always wanted a Sohal tang & now I have one. (Thanks Pedwin)

Dearth 11-04-2013 02:38 PM

I will never get one but a Lionfish always liked the look of them beautiful but deadly

Magickiwi 11-04-2013 03:05 PM

What fish do I actually want that I’ll never have? It’s a list
- Clown trigger (no good for my reef)
- Black Tang ($700-$800 for a single fish? No way)
- Barracuda (self-explanatory I think)
- Emperor Angel (No good for reef and gets too big)

Clown trigger!:D

Taipan 11-04-2013 03:07 PM

Peppermint Angelfish (Paracentropyge boylei) - Yeah.....one can dream.

Other completely different fish that make my list (in no particular order) :

- Tattoo Jawfish (Opistognathus decorus)

- Juvenile CrossHatch Trigger (Xanthichthys mento)

- "Dr. Suess Fish" (Belonoperca pylei)

Can you tell I'm indecisive?

what-nobody wants a shark or orca? for me it will be a mated pair of bellus angels(hopefully next month)

This could be viable. Can I call the entire Pacific Ocean my tank? The one I have at home is a quarantine tank. :)

He did say size wasn't an issue.

That's maybe why he said "just for Jokes?" A lot of people don't realize that whales are not fish.

And to confuse the issue, there are whale sharks. Is it a whale? Is it a shark? :der: All I know is that I wouldn't want that feed bill.
