What fish do you long to keep, but cannot?

[Hollygirl]

Is there any fish that you would just love to keep, but cannot for some reason? Maybe it is the time required to care for it, or the size tank it requires, whatever? The fish you look at in the LFS and think "If only"? Mine would be the Clown Loach. For my husband its the Discus.

stonefish

muskie, or a stingray

 

[Eupterus]

Sure an arowana. They need more resources and time then I'll be able to provide so I doubt I'll ever get one.
Then I'd love an Asian aro and that would have the extra problem of being illegal is the USA. I guess it's part of our nature to strive for what we cannot have sometimes.

freshwater stingray. maybe someday but I don't have the room for a tank big enough for them.

I'd like to do a 250 Gallon Malawi tank and a 250 Gallon Tanganyikan tank

My dream is a big Discus tank but I am afraid to try it. I have been reading up on them but just don't have the nerve to try it with my PH level.
