I'm partial to corys and dwarf puffers (but not kept together) - they have quite a bit of personality!

Hey roger1,
My favourite fish are, with out a doubt, Cories. There relitively easy to keep, pretty, and very cute.
Chinese Algea Eaters and Upside-Down Catfish are pretty cool too. But sometimes the CAE can be some what agressive!
Happy fish keeping!

dwarf gouramis and guppies. The dwarfs are very beautiful and have different personalities and the guppies because they have so many varieties and species.

African Butterfly....I'll have to start another tank for them one of these days. My last met a sad end when one of his tankmates (not sure who) decided that his fins looked tasty sometime during the day.

I'm probably going to be the only person, but I absolutely love chinese perch (siniperca chuatsi). Mine is dopey, but extremely fast when feeding, and he greets me all the time with the look of what I would picture an aquatic puppy to look like:)

You win! And what do we have for the winner Johnny?
Why we have a brand new box of pride and satisfaction! Be sure and pick up a copy of the home game! oh.... wait.... nm.
But seriously, I really cant explain it but I've always been fond of the little gliding spaceships. I'm currently in the process of making my 15'x25' concrete shed outside a fish room. In which I plan on creating several natural eco tanks and attempting to breed plecos that apparently haven't been bred successfully in captive.

german blue rams are where it's at! corys take second place, i'm partial to the sterbai right now. it's really hard to stop there...but i'll be good.
Ghost Knifes are awesome. I wish I had the room to keep one. As soon as I have the room, I'm gonna get set up to keep a Ghost Knife.
RIght now, I really love my Dwarf Gourami.

Arowanas and Frontosas...! :dance2: What, you couldn't find a big fish to like??? LOL!
As much as I love my BP's, I also love Betta's... And I am really getting interested in Rams... And tonight I saw the most awesome looking Black Ghost Knife...
I can't have just one tank... I'm too fickle. Favorite fish are like Lay's Potato Chips to me... I can't have just one.

You can't go wrong with fancy guppies.... But I love dojo loaches!
I love cory's the best! So energetic and playing amongst thier own kind. One of the best community fish I think. Though I've never owned any, I love freshwater dwarf puffers. I've spent hours watching them in my friends tank. They seem so full of personality and I love the faces on them. I could swear they are smiling.
