Aquarium Advice FINatic
I'm sure that over the years this site has existed that this question has been asked more than once. But I'm still pretty new here, so I'll be boring and ask it again!
We all have our personal favorites whether they are fish, mollusk or crustacean. So what are your favorite creatures to care for? and Why do you like them so much?
Me first:
Danios of any kind! I love watching these fish play around in the tank. Each of them are such individuals I almost feel that they could talk. A lot of thimes when I keep them they are absolutely fearless! They are so incredibly curious. If I put my hand in the tank or start moving something around they just have to be in on the middle of the action to see what's going on. I love to watch them play tag with each other and if you give them a current to play in it's party time. Danios, are party in every tank.
Corydoras in general. Talk about personality! They have definitely got that!Another favorite that I share with my wife. She calls them our little fatfish. We love to watch them industriously going about their business sweeping the substrate and chasing each other around the tank.
Shrimp. Love to watch busily marching around the tank doing their business. They can find anything there is to find in the substrate and make it disappear. They are so cute to watch at their tasks.
Crabs. My favorite crustacean with class. They are really individuals. I'm not sure what it is about them exactly that I like so much, but they've got it in spades! That little scuttle of theirs as they fend off some nosy fish or find a choice morsel. I love 'em.
Pearl Gouramis. One of the most beautiful and peaceful fish I have have ever kept. They are so graceful the way that they stately move about the tank with such purpose.
Checkerboards Barb. I love to watch these absolutely beautiful fish shoal together in the tank. A real sight to see.
Some others would be Lemon Tetras, Neon Tetras, Glowlight Tetras and Head-and-Tail-Light Tetras. I love these fish just from the standpoint of the beauty of the fish.
My wife would also add the Apple Snail to this list. She loves to watch them plowing around the tank.
