Fish with personality

I cant remember who or where but someone was talking about how they like fish with personality over colorful fish. Whoever this was, or anyone really, could you give a list of fish with a lot of personality and character? Thanks.

Re: Fish with personality

I'm not sure but it might have been me...but even if it wasn't here are a couple fish like that I can think of:
Bettas--male or female
Livebearers (my girls are so amusing!...I have never had males)
Puffers (if you can find Dwarf Puffers they sound quite a bit like Bettas)
Catfish are not like Bettas or something but most have a great personality...I'm guessing the bigger ones (like Plecos) more so than the smaller ones.
Most shoaling fish don't have as much individual personality.

Re: Fish with personality

My female beta has alot of personality, also my panda cory's. The other cory's I have don't seem to be as amusing as the pandas. I also have a male guppy that is very amusing.

Re: Fish with personality

Clown loachs have loads of personality,but you will need a big tank for them as they will grow to 12 inches, but they are crazy fish.Like Cheri Ann said beta are good i have a male and hes allways doing something .

Re: Fish with personality

Agree with Omorrokh in that cats have a lot of personality. I have 4 small sherba cory cats that act like schooling fish and are fun to watch. Plecos can be amusing too.

Re: Fish with personality

hi ebbandflow i have to agree with boff clown loaches are cool fish..there like puppy dogs always in and around anything you put in the tank.. they say fish only have a short memory but im sure clowns are really inteligent and smart fish..and if you like attitude then tiger barbs are good they constantly play chase each other around but u need to get six or more or they will be agresive towards other spiecies of fish in your tank..

Re: Fish with personality

Cool... all good ideas guys. I have about eleven cories now and I know what you mean. I think one of the fish that whoever it was mentioned was angel fish. I've never actually seen angels. They look real cool though... in pix.

Re: Fish with personality

It was in my post of Help! Huge tank, we were talking about what fish I should put in my 300g - I decided on oscars, they really have a lot of personanality, they beg for food and eat out my hand, they are also quite cheeky, they almost like little puppies...
