Future prospects

[DepotFish]

We've probably done threads like this, but are there any fish you've got on your waiting list of "fish I'd just love to own in the future"?

I'd love:
Killifish (something with green/grey natural looking coloration)
Midas Cichlid
Cherry barbs or checkered barbs
Brown discus
Rainbow shark
Hi-fin banded shark

The hi-fin shark I know isn't going to happen unless I win the lottery and can afford 1000+gallons. The midas and discus will have to wait a while too. The barbs I may get in a few months in a species only 10 gallon setup. If I see killis at the auction next week I may splurge. And the rainbow shark I may get in May. Now that I'm on my last 3 months of college I'm starting to plan out all the empty tanks I have in storage.

I'd love to get:

Lemon Tetras
Pygmy Cories
Threadfin Rainbows
N. Brevis
Yellow Labs

So many more I can't even think of. I'm getting the lemon tetras and the cories very soon

 

[MyCatsDrool]

Puffers. the larger, brackish ones.
Transparent Knife
Discus
Pictus cats
Zebra Plecos
Galaxy Rasboras
Any tangakyan shellies

 

[QTOFFER]

I'd love to get shelldwellers.

First, Id have to move the psyshotic Jewel into the empty 15 gal and prep the 10 gal. BrianNy and JChillin are probably rolling their eyes - I keep saying this, but I never bid on any shelldwellers at our local fish club auction.

One day, I will get that Gold Nugget pleco...one day...

Also,

Discus
Red Empress cichlid
sidthemunki (sp?) loaches
angelicus botia
any kind of knife fish

And, for my clown loaches to get HUGE

 

[newfound77951]

Flame rainbowfish, Melanotaenia parva
Angelicus (kubotai) botia
A big tank with a huuuge school of....something. maybe rummynose, maybe pristellas, i don't know. just a lot of them!
Arulius barbs....had some a long time ago and loved them, beautiful fish

Just kidding buddy...we are patient...do you still have the shells you brought two years ago.

I always wanted Koi angels but QTOFFER beat me out on a bid on them awhile back. Late last fall, I did get my grubby hands on two of em' and couldn't be happier.

The only other fish on my must have list are Keyhole cichlids and Orange flash cuckatoos (are you listening JD?).

 

[shayfish]

Any kind of freshie stingray. Bit of a pipe dream...

Many species of rainbow

So many more I can't even think of now. I think I've become just a little obsessed with fish.
