By this I mean one you have now, or have had in the past! And feel free to post a pic of your fave!

Well.. I don't have much experience, but I really like my dwarf gouramis.. they are so pretty and playful!

i like chiclids the most because they are so smart and exciting.but it died years ago.there great to have though.

red tailed sharks becuase I love the coloring, Clown loaches for the coloring and behavior, and tiger barbs for the coloring and playfullness

My favs are...

Bettas - Large variety of color/tail combos. Easy to maintain if kept the right way. Healthy ones have great attitudes, very intelligent, & can become very personable.

Shellies/dwarf cichlids (apistos, kribs, brevis, etc) - I love the "large attitude in a small body"

My favorite is my Clown Pleco. He hides most of the day and when he is out his coloration camouflages him so well I have a hard time seeing him (especially if he is on the driftwood), so when I do get a glimpse of him I get all excited by such a rare sighting. Its like being on safari and seeing a rare or endangered species

Comet- they are big and bright with gorgeous fins and they are smart. They recognize people and learn rather quick.

I love black ruby barbs because their cheeks get red when they get mad. Mine died

, but I'm going to get a few when I get a bigger tank. They are first on my list.

Angel Fish. Very pretty and full of personality.

krap101 · 03-22-2006, 10:56 PM

either micro cories or lampeye rasboras, small and active

i'd say blue rams. (except for the fact that my original 2 died last week). their personality is just so fun, and the way they interact with people is just awesome.

i'd say they're the only fish i have that swims up to the glass as soon as you go up there. it's like they're trying to say "what up!" or something LOL
