Ohh don't get me wrong, there are others I think are absolutely gorgeous, (Skittles, my metriaclima greshakei) but there's nothing like a tank of frontosa, IMO.

+1, nothing beats a school of wild caught fronts!

My vote would go to an electric blue jack dempsey. Unfortunately they don't sell them around where i live so I just have to avidly watch craigslist and hope I get lucky haha

 

[kdpuffer]

Smeezy- check out aquabid, they have all sorts of fish and most likely will save you a dime or two.

 

[bruinsbro1997]

I say GBRs, cockatoo apistos, discus, and electric blue johannis.

I thought about ordering online, the only problem is I'm out at the college alot and I wouldn't want it to show up and bake on my porch while im at school

 

[kdpuffer]

That would certainly put a damper on things. You may be able to arrange for it to be shipped and delivered while your home though.

I agree. Ebjds are awesome. I have one and his colors are beautiful. All around beauties.
