What's your favorite fish in your aquarium and why? I want to see what different people say.

For me, in my saltwater tank it'd be my purple firefish because he's always out waiting for food and super colorful. My favorite of my bettas is Martin my black with orange fins because he's colorful and full of personality. And my favorite fish in my pond is my comet goldfish Longtail because she's the most active and the prettiest.
 
My favorite is Rocket the clown loach, he's always out and about or hiding in his favorite ledge inside a fake stump I have, he's also the biggest pig! I love i! We call him rocket 'cause his red fins look like rocket flames when he's flying around the tank and he likes to take off up the glass and he Really looks like his name then!

It's hard to choose favorites but I just can't help but love this guy, Snickers, my long finned chocolate lace pleco. He's more fin than fish:)

Does that fish play dead?

Mine? Nope :) they are interesting hunters though, ambush predators, make themselves nearly invisible to prey. Kinda hard to imagine because they are so large. She is very thin and has a black streak from the top of the mouth to the tail, when she hunts her prey she goes vertical, and the prey can't see her. Cool to watch!
