What's your favorite fish in your tank?

One you have now. Not one you're planning on getting or wish you could have but can't.

I bought a threadfin butterfly about 3 weeks ago and found out afterwards that he is not reef safe. The only thing he would nip at was a new frag of frogspawn that I purchased the same weekend. After removing the frogspawn he has become the model citizen and is quickly becoming my favorite.

Flame Hawkfish, it has more personality than any other fish I have kept.

I have had a potters angel for almost 2 yrs, I was afraid he would be a nipper of my acros, so far he seems to only have a taste for algae and frozen food. I hope he continues to stay this way, I would hate to have to get rid of him.

Fish store called him a chocolate tang, but doesn't look like any pics of chocolate tang that I've seen. Wish I had a better picture of him. When the light hits him just right he has little blue dots all over.

Brent, he resembles my Kole tang but does not have the yellow eyes.

He is a variety of bristletooth tang, they are excellent grazers.

Diamond Watchman Goby. Mine died during a time when I was having trouble with my tank, but before that he was the COOLEST fish. I loved to watch him dig his little burrows and sift the sand. After the first of the year I will start to slowly re add the fish we lost and he will probably be our first purchase.

I've always wanted to keep a blue jaw or crosshatch triggerfish in my reef, but was always nervous. After seeing how beautiful Paul's Pink Tail Trigger was and how successful he was keeping it in his reef, I thought I would bite the bullet and buy a blue jaw. He' gorgeous!

Bloke:

Great picture. Beautiful fish.

Heres my beast:



He is very tame, no longer nibbles at the porites plate coral I have (which is good).

Now, my favoite fish would be this guy:



Not the fastest growing fish (which is good) but certainly the most aggessive fish I have ever owned.

Paul.

I had a Naso Tang, that I loved but she died. I will probably replace her with a male.
