My tank is not very big, nor do I have that many different kinds of fish, but I think my favorite is my Betta. He is just so graceful and slowly flows through the water checking everything out. Also when I put my hand in there with food he always swims right up to it and waits for something to come out of my hand.
whats your most interesting fish

I'd have to say my green spotted puffer, he's got so much personality. He even looks guilty when he's done something bad (he looked REALLY guilty when I just got home from my holiday and I couldn't figure out why. Until I noticed my orange lyretail molly was missing!!!)
Bob.
We saw Bob swimming in a tankful of gorgeous Red and White Ryunkins- he was definitely odd man out and next to them unattractive to boot. An ill bred Oranda with dull plain colors just didn't look interesting- seemed a good enough reason to bring him home.
Of course he's turned out to be the personality fish of all the Goldfish- probably just very hungry but it passes for personality... so be it.
At any rate he can hang with a good inch of his head out of the water and beg me to drop pellets into his mouth. He can snap/crackle/pop you awake with his ravenous lip smacking. He can follow a siphon hose around with ungoldfishy agility and dare you to suck out an eyeball. He follows the algae pads, the front glass wipings- anything involving a human hand and he is right there.
I swear to you that he looks me straight in the eye like one of the dogs waiting for you to get up and make dinner- he's demanding food! food! food!

One of black skirt tetras. His name is Bill. Anytime I am near the tank, he follows me around. Of course my neons are cool too, they roam around the tank like a group of army guys marching. But by far the most entertaining is my pleco, specially when he hangs upside down on my ornaments, lol
I love watching my red tail shark, who has grown quite large and is incredibly beautiful. He has decided to take over a second cave - his first being a black UV plumbing elbow covered with rocks. Now he commutes to his summer home across the tank - a coffee mug with a rock covering part of the opening. It takes a lot of energy for him to guard both these lairs. No sooner does he leave one than my three clown loaches go for a swim through it, which makes him crazy, so back he goes, leaving his second cave unguarded. Of course the clown loaches merrily go over to that one. (Meanwhile, the clown loaches have about three caves of their own....)
