What do you think the most underrated "common" fish is?

[msjinkzd]

I have a 36g bowfront corner tank that houses what I consider underrated fish commonly available in the hobby. I am just curious as to what you guys think some of the most underrated common fish in teh hobby are.

Some of my top choices are:

cherry barbs
albino cories
diamond tetras

Man, that is a GOOD question. Gonna have to think a bit.

Cherry barbs for sure. An awesome fish.

Would also have to add Brilliant Rasboras.

I like Rummy-Nose, Convicts, and Firemouths... Not in the same tank.

I think guppies are somewhat underrated. They are so common, and there are some junky ones out there, but they definitely notice whats going on outside the tank.

And neon tetras are cool--interesting little fish.

Scissor Tail Rasbora

I am gonna have to go with cherry barbs too.... feisty little flashes of color. Such a deep color for the males and flashiness of the females. If you look close enough, their fins are awesome when they are alert!
