That's a tough one !
Love my Cories. Always busy. Like puppies with fins

I'm mesmerized by my CPDs. Mine dart in an out of cover. They are shy, but if I sit still they will start chasing each other.

And I'll stare at my Scarlet Badis for hours. They are such deliberate wee hunters, stalking about the tank.

Boesemani rainbows. I just got the fish yesterday. While everyone else was timid and checking things out they were all right out in the open zipping about, playing in the current, coming right up to the glass when I approached it. When I threw a little food in there they were the only ones to go after it and they were mauling those little pellets.

cong tetras. They are beautiful, very active, the tank always looks busy. They need a 55 gallon tank I think because they are on the large side. I also love pearl gourami and honey gourami, very graceful and deliberate in their behavior.

I really enjoy my elephant nose, had him for over 3 years and never get bored of him. He's very personable and always out and about.

I know they've become pretty cliche in the aquarium world, but I just really love Neon Tetras. It always just amazes me that such bright little things are real.

Yo yo loaches - like naughty kids.

Green spotted puffers. Like little blimps always on the move.

I agree with coursair, I'm really digging the hierarchy of the cpds. Theyve really come out of the shell.. out in front all the time now, picking and chasing.. harmless of course.. and their is always my beloved dwarf cichlids which will always be the starts of my setup(s)

I would say my convict or pseudotropheus aurora. Cichlids in general are interesting to me because they're so intelligent and almost remind me of dolphins.

I love watching my Angels, they seem to move without effort, also my peppered corys until my s. Petricola come out and they are like royalty, with their pure white edged fins.......

 

[brennae]

My favs to watch are scarlet badis, pygmy corys and rainbow fish. I love to watch the rainbows eat and they follow me from one side of the tank to the other which is fun.

 

[QuakingAspen]

Corydoras catfish, I agree like puppies, I think that's what they want me to think

 

[B-Chrono]

My favorite would have to be my Bolivian Rams, they just have such good personality for a fish.

 

[Cold Canadian]

+1 on the corries I love mine playing around the tank all the time!

In my tank, it's my Blue Rams. Always there to greet me/beg for food, and they're nearly eating out of my hand now.

In other people's tanks, discus.

 

[enrgizerbunny]

My kissing gourami, since he's the only one who is diurnal, followed by my snails.

my clown loaches. They swim in crazy formations and patterns, at the front of the tank.

Was my dwarf puffer, so awesome! The way that they death stare at snails before they suck the life out of them! (Literally lol) Also, I have to hand it to my Cories, always foraging in and around plants, looking for extra leftover morsels! As for the meanest fish, I gotta say dwarf crayfish, always nipping fins!

While I often enjoy watching my blue crawfish rearrange the bottom of my 30 gallon, stacking rocks in random places.... My FAVORITE to watch is my ropefish! It's as if they dance in a tangled playful manner.
Here's a short video.
