Just for fun - What's everybodies Top Ten Fish list?
 

I'm just curious.

Albert

Top ten ... hmmm that's a toughie.

Sharks would have to be on my list. I've never had a tank large enough for one though, but one day I'd like to change that. So let's say "banded cat" and "epaulette" are on my list for sure.

Tangs of course would be on the list. Red Sea sailfins, Red Sea Sohals, Naso tangs..

I'll always have a soft spot for clownfish .. "Percularis" and skunks come to mind..

Dragonets are way cool. All kinds (there are a lot of them, too).

Angels and pygmy angels ... flames, potters, .....

Cardinals..

Blennies for the spunky personalities

And wrasses are exquisite. Fairy wrasses are among my favourites ...

That's probably more than ten .. does the list have to be restricted to SW? I have to say that clown loaches and butterfly loaches, and gourami's come to mind. And tetra's ... and ... and ...

... Yup, definitely a tough one!! :lol:

In no particular order... :biggrin:

• Lemonpeel Angel
  Percula Clownfish
  Sohal Tang (For sure one day when I have that 500Gal... :rolleyes: )
  Red Scooter Blenny
  Blackcap Basslet
  Sixline wrasse
  Blonde Naso Tang
  Copperband butterfly
  Flame Angel
  Emperor Angel
  Anthias (All of them)
  Orchid Dottyback
  Clown Goby

Hmm... if I get rid of that plant I can put up another tank. :mrgreen:
