What is your favorite kind of Fish?

[farli]

Just wondering what alot of people like...

[Cearbhaill]

Goldfish.
Never thought I'd get sucked into the world of fancy goldfish, but I am. They've got personality!

[ChilDawg]

Did you know that you can vote for all on this poll? I did just that...I love all fish...

I'll have my livebearer tank going soon and I'll be adding two female Bettas to Josh's ten gallon in the suite...we have gf fry growing at home...I might have convinced my parents to let me start a Con tank at home (with a similar one here...kind of a vacation home for the Con)...my Cories are at home b/c they've suffered the ills of travel enough, but I love them, too! :)

[Matak]

Shoal fish and tank cleaners :)

i'm partial to loaches: 5 yoyos, 2 clowns, and 5 skunks compose 1/2 the population of one of my tanks and all play together. of course, most of the other half of that tank is composed of pearl and moonlight gouramis. so i suppose those are my favorites, but when i get more $$ and another tank, i plan on devoting it to the gouramis and some catfish.

oh, but i'm wrong...those are all up there, but my #1 fish is my tiretrack eel. he is the biggest winner of all time.

[Clownloach458]

heh heh.. loaches all the way here, clowns. skunks. flying foxes, rtbs redfin sharks.. etc..i also love cory catfishes

Just standard platies for right now, while I'm at school...I'll probably start Het-forms next year if I go into the work world. :)

(As well as Gambusia and Belonesox...I gotta have my predators!!!)

[tricksterpup]

Well if I could find a decent trio.. ;)

[t_h_e_s_a_c_k]

OSCARS!

[rainbowprizimz]

Tetras and Livebearers most definently!

[Andy16]

I cannot even reply to this one, because i have absolutely NO CLUE!!!!! One fish that i always wanted to start up a tank for is amphilophus troscheli. I cant even find information on it so i dont know waht it needs.

[Slappy*McFish]

Overall, I would have to say Cichlids...as it such a diverse group of fishes. Bottom dwellers are a close second, as I love me some loaches, as well.

[Dapple2]

Heyyyy....I didn't realize I could choose more than one... Silly me shoulda read the thread first before voting. My vote is for cories, killis, livebearers, and anything else that happens to come home with me :) Do plants count? I spent enough on them :p

[Sinuhe]

Livebearers. I don't have a tank at this moment, but I'm planning to start one for livebearers (probably platies). I used to have guppies and platies some years ago, and I get such a kick out of my fish breeding!

[Dangerdoll]

I'd have to say cichlids, and especially Angels. Not sure what it is, but always levetate to having them when finishing a cycle.

[demon_surfer]

andy have you tried www.fishbase.org for details? if it is scientifically identified then it will be in there and they can probably give you links to sites with more info.


ok I think the problem you had was you have the wrong genus.

are you talking about the glass knifefish? (http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.cfm?ID=48000&genusname=Rhabdolichops&speciesname=troscheli)

[Andy16]

Nope not the knifefish, its a mesoamerican cichlid
I couldnt find it on fishbase either.
Thanks for your help demon

[Sum-X]

Cichlids of course... It's all I have with the exception of a few Loaches.

[punch]

Definatly bottom feeders, loaches, corries, little catfish.
Why in the world did I get a tall aquarium, when I could of fit more bottom feeders in a long?:o

[BigFishDude]

Plain old goldfish. Shubunkins to be exact :) I also love comets, fantails, commons, black moors....... Oh heck I love all goldfish :D!

[FreddytheFish]

I really like oddballs, but cichlids are cool too.

[Emg]

My favorite ??? Discus....why??....probably because I don't have any....LOL !

But of the fish I DO have......well, it started with bettas, just couldn't get enough of them...I'm up to about 17 right now. THEN.... I discovered german blue rams ! Whoa...beautiful fish ! Raised a batch of fry and had a hard time selling them I got so attached to them all...lol. And now....hhmm..I'd have to say, my favorites at present are my shell dwellers. Not as colorful as the rams, but lots of fun to watch........Jeesh ! I guess I'm just fickle when it comes to fish......what can I say ? ! :huh: :p:

[ntt]

jack dempseys and texas cichlids

[Wippit Guud]

Crayfish are a fish, right?

Right?

[Dangerdoll]

I would think so, a shellfish..... how've ya bee, Wippit? Haven't seen you in quite some time.

[Chill]

Bottom dwellers are the coolest - really love the cats. Like oddballs and brackish as well. Really though I got attention defi**** disorder so I'm kind of fickle.

[Master Zero]

Oscars, Goldfishes (Comets/Shubunkins), and Sharks (Bala Sharks)!

I just love my “school of Sharks,” and the Oscars are in there with them.
The Goldfishes are in an outdoor pond.

I also have Convicts (a breeding pair), and Ghost-Shrimps.

[rosita]

I think cichlids are totally awesome. . . although I absolutely adore my dwarf gourami, Spike, Harry and Larry. Talk about personality!!! :dance2:

[fishinAZ]

My four Aussie Rainbows and my RTBS. But my betta is a fav too...

[Lund]

I voted other. [B]Crazy about knife fish!!!!!!

[test4echo]

LIVEBEARERS! :bowing: All hail the Molly!:bowing:

[phises]

Fancy goldfish, bettas, african cichlids, discus, oscars

[ljse]

Apistos, cories and otos for now. Hopefully in the future I'll get discus.

[fish_freak]

I voted cichlids and BTW what is this the tread that wont die? This is the third time its come up scince 2003 when it was posted lol

[dorkfish]

BIAS what about the people who don't like what's listed but are too lazy to say what they like? well a) they don't vote or b) you get BIAS

[momar]

Catfish. Because they're weird. Especially synodontis. However I do like my redtail shark and bolivian rams.

They don't count as fish, probably, but Firebelly newts and ADFs easily equal any fish. (especially when ADFs try to eat 3inch cameroon shrimps)

I like guppies too, but i used to really hate them when i started out with tropical fish. Their tails really annoyed me.

[Rbishop]

Discus...Apisto

[tbj]

My favorite is the Clown Loach :)

[OddballerJAYB]

:thm: oddball fish like knife fish,gars,fire eels,bichir(all variety),elaphant noses!!! :clap: :cool: those are all my favorites in a nut shell!!!

[cswhi]

I have scooling fish and bettas and some cories. I have never tried cilchilds.

[RockabillyChick]

currently my favorite fish is my Sid (Ctenopoma Acutirostre) or Leopard Bushfish.

http://www.aquarist-classifieds.co.uk/php/image/34313.jpg

i love my sid. he comes to the side of the tank when he sees me and begs for food. he can also eat things 1/3rd his own size.

[fish_freak]

Wow this is the fifth time this thread has been up here good topic. I still like cichlids the best!

[dorkfish]

I voted "anything not stated".

My favourite group of fishes is by far the anabantoid group usually reffered to gouramies and bettas.

[tha cichlid man]

I vote african cichlids.

[IceH2O]

I'm with RockabillyChick..

I have 2 of them and it is so cool how they stalk and eat even pellet and flake foods. I also like my senegal birchirs for the same reasons.

I may just have to get a 300 wide so I can have a few more species..
