Whats a must have fish?

I will always have a Harlequin. They are hardy and peacefull, but can be in a predetor setting too.

I think a must-have fish, if anything, in a marine tank is a yellow tang. That's assuming you have a 55-gallon tank or larger. They've always been a favourite of mine.

In a freshwater community - Angelfish and Cory cats. (if tank is large enough to house properly)
Saltwater community - Clownfish

I recently picked up an incredibly shy flame angel. Everyone always picks him as their favorite fish because of his bright colors.

I also have a zebra lion in the same tank. He has bright red pelvic, dorsal, and anal fins. His pectoral fins are a bright green with two blue spots. He's absolutely gorgeous when he swims, which I've only seen enough times to count on one hand Usually he drifts through the current upside down. Yesterday I managed to get him to swim backwards upside down while I was chasing him with some food lol.

For me, the must have fish is definitely the Pacific Blue Tang (Hippo). My 3 year old loves Dori!

I don't think you can go wrong with a clownfish. Each one has its own personality and its fun to hear people Oooo over "Nemo" in my tank

My favorite fish, when I had fish in the tank, was my Dogface Puffer. Great personality. Acted like a dog. A very wet, slimy, legless dog.

Clown - My tank just wouldn't be the same if I didn't get bit everytime I put my hand in the tank.

Mine's got to be my Lawnmower Blenny. He's full of character and helps keep the tank free of algae
