Orange lasers are cool but literally would kill and tear apart my aquarium budget.

Yeah, I started with a trio and bred them a lot. I now trade with others who have orange lasers to keep fresh genes coming in.

My favourite is my elephant nose fish really love keeping them, my oldest will be 9 year's old and my younger ones are coming 3 years. They haven't been the easiest of fish but they've been worth it. Next will be my king tiger pleco l066 haven't a picture of her as she is pretty shy! 3c5964354bce052323f850a4f494ca29.jpg0caee44fb38dd3aedb3ae065c1a92bea.jpg

HI my oldest is 9years and I kept him on his own for 6 years , I found he became more shy and not coming out much, so I decided to buy more to hopefully bring him out and it worked he's happy. So yep they love company just keep 4 or over less causes bullying.
 
I have been thinking about getting new fish and possibly upgrading my tank and want your opinions on different fish families. When I mean fish families I'm not asking the specific species I just am asking the family for example: guppies, tetras, loaches
 
Cichlids (South American) and catfish (of all sorts). Anabantoids too. Lately I've been going full catfish. Though my favourite species tend to be cichlids.
 
I love tetras, since there are so many varieties. They're usually interesting, cute, and hardy.
 
There's just too many to choose. My favorite might be Tetra's, followed by Endlers, Cory's, and Puffers in no particular order lol. I have all of those I've been wanting to get some Rasbora's.

I’m all about my bettas - there’s so many varieties and so many people don’t know about the other species that I always get lots of comments on them. I also love my barbs, they’re so much fun and there are so many different colors, sizes, and varieties

I recently found Dwarf golden clown Barb's at my local Petco and I'm in love. Very peaceful, no aggression whatsoever and they stay tiny I think maxing out at 1.4in if I remember correctly.
 
anabantoids, cichlids, loaches, catfish, rasboras. All of them are so unique in there own way. (then you have a jAcK dEmPsEy in the cichlids!
 
I'm rather partial to guppies myself. Great personalities on small friendly fish.

I'm in love with Endlers and endler guppies they're smaller and so colorful plus they can breed with guppies if you're into breeding.

Very nice. I was considering Endlers but they were a good deal pricier than guppies when I checked. Maybe someday I'll have a nice school of Endlers but for now I'm happy with my fancy guppies.
 
Mine so far is sa cichlids. Great personality and not scared of me.

I've bought some Cobra Endler guppies and a blue Japanese endler guppy I believe it was from PetSmart for $2.99ea so same price as regular male Guppies but the 2 pure Endlers I got from Petco were $5.99ea.

I saw guppy/endler hybrids for 3-5$ but when I was looking online the places I found that were advertising verifiable non-hybrid Endlers wanted $60 per fish.
 
I really like the colorful ones with scales and gills. You know, the ones that live in the water?

Oh I was mistaken the Endlers I got from Petco weren't the N class verifiable wild collected from Venezuela, I think they were P class that appeared to be pure non hybrids. Then I think what PetSmart has always had I'd definitely K class hybrids. Ugh why are Endlers so confusing?

Corydoras.

My Electric Blue Acara 20200215_210523.jpghas the personality to match his flamboyant colors
 
Pygmy Corys definitely take the cake for adorableness! The Electric Blue is what I want my next fish to be! Beautiful fish!

Tetras

Corydoras are my second pick
 
Another one for SA dwarf cichlids. Good color, most are relatively easy to breed, plenty of personality and they can fit in smaller tanks!

Endlers are always a good way to go. That can be freshwater or acclimated to marine and don't school but do well in groups and go searching and exploring constantly. You can also get quite a few hybrids to suit your tastes. Very easy to breed too and if given half a chance will crossbreed with other livebearers.

my favorite type of fish are catfish. my catfish are soooo funny!
 
Oscars. Theyre like having a dog in a fish tank. They have more personality than any other fish Ive ever kept. Second would be Betta's for the same reason.
 
I'm a big fan of Apistogramma species especially the Cacatuoides.

A picture of my male. The female shys away from the camera.

I don't know. I have a not enough tanks or time problem.
This is my wife's current 2nd favorite after Nibbles.

Well OK taking pics of it is not easy.

Here is a close up of the big eyes that made her take it home.

Now to treat its ich that just showed up.
 
One guess!!



I’ve grown to love many of my different fish, Mickey, my main angelfish buddy, is a goof, and even the shrimp and snails are finding a bit of love from me that I never expected for inverts. But... yeah. There’s really only one.

However, I’m kinda enamored with this gold piranha at the lfs. He’s awesome. Definitely a close 2nd for personality.
 
erm.......favourite fish.....there are so many that I love owning and watching.......

But if I have to pick one fish.......its going to have to be the totally sex mad, lunatic, insomniac, comedian Bronze Cory
