Your top 5 fish and why?
 

Not in any real order, here are my five favorite fish in my tank...

1. Huma Huma Trigger. One of my all time favs. Saw it in a store before I even had a tank and couldn't believe you could have something so cool looking in your home. Risky in a reef but mine only makes a mess with sand, never nips anything.

2. Oriental Sweetlips. Its like a puppy in your tank. Such a cool looking and behaving fish. I've read they may be hard to get eating buy mine ate from day one.

3. Porcupine Puffer. Again, its like a puppy in your tank. Follows you around and begs for food. So cool!

4. Green Bird Wrasse. This is the boss of the tank. Pretty agressive and eats like a pig. Have a good skimmer with this guy but wow are they cool. Constant gliding and they look so different.

5. Mandarin Goby. Like a psychedelic ninja in your tank. It lives in the rock work so its a treat to see him out in the open. Luckly after about 3 weeks I had mine eating frozen daily so he's thriving, if you can get one to live on frozen food they are the coolest.

Achilles tang.....challenging fish to keep but beautiful nonetheless.

Rhomboid fairy wrasse.....I love all fairy wrasses, colorful and reef safe.

Borbonious/sunburst anthais......very cool looking fishes.

Helfriche firefish......unique coloration.

Moorish idol.....finding nemo.

I don't even have a tank at the moment but I would say (in no particular order)

1. Scott's fairy wrasse
2. Helfriche Firefish
3. Barnacle Blenny
4. One spot Foxface
5. Achilles Tang

Garabaldi damsel stunning colour
Mandarin dragonette cool swagger and personality
Jan's pipefish cool looking
Davincii clown aka baby orca

Sohal Tang - gorgeous colours and pattern
Mandarin Goby/Dragonet - super cool colours & swimming/hopping motion
Aussie Harlequin Tuskfish - Neon colours & pattern
Ornate & other types of Leopard Wrasses - easier to keep than flashers & fairies
Porcupine puffer - soooooo cute

Honourable mention:

Seahorse/Sea Dragon (of course)
Angler fish (nature's fishermen/women)
Jawfish (especially yellowheaded) - cool cave builders

Falco hawkfish - fun to watch. Eye movements are awesome.

Regal tang

Lingcod - moist, delicious
Sockeye - great sashimi
Sturgeon - epic battles
Tuna - especially tuna belly, A+ sashimi

Flame Angel Fish - It's like a little ball of fire swimming around the tank

Purple Pseudochromis - The purple is ELECTRIC and really pops.

Clown Triggerfish - Because polkda dots in a tank just looks BOSS.

Lawnmower blenny---every one I have ever owned has character and personality

Mandarin Dragonet---very challenging fish to keep, colourful and just entertaining and relaxing to watch

Blue Green Chromis---many consider this fish to be bland but it's colours change with every motion
