Agreed! $120 is way too much for me at least. Also I am going to get Honey's for a 20 gallon I'm settting up, at least 2.

Yeah I'm think of adding another female honey gourami. Honestly If I had room for another tank I would take this pair and add them to a group of like 6 (2 Males 4Females)

I thought it would be interesting to see what my fellow members think about this. It can be any species in general, or even a specific fish or invert that just has a special place. I personally haven't had many different types of fish (still young in the aquarium hobby), but I really like my Lambchop Rasboras. They are just chill all the time and help my more shy Neon Tetras show their vibrant colors in my 29 gallon aquarium! Thanks to all who participate!

Hey! I currently really like tiger barbs due to the luck I have with them, but their are many fish in this hobby and their are many inverts as well, so what's your favorite?
 
Ooo, this is a tough one for me.As of right now I'm really enjoying my albino female and green dragon male bristle nose plecos.( in seperate tanks) the green dragon likes hanging out with his corydoras and otocinclus friends in my 40 breeder. and the albino spends her days munching on the spiderwood in my 50g. Gourami are what got me into this hobby though. The first dwarf i owned was awesome. Tons of personality and spunk. Always came to the front of the tank when i entered the room.
 
Lungfish and polypterus (bichir) or any other ancient fish are my favorite
Click to expand...
Wow! The polypterus (bichir) is really cool, but way too big for most aquaria. I love the way it looks, sort of a dinosaur fish! I find lungfish scary (and again, waaaaaaaay too big to keep! Also, rare, I thought.) I saw one once in the zoo aquarium years, ago.
 
What's your all-time favorite species of fish?

Mine would be koi bettas. ----> I don't have one yet because my 10g is still cycling but I can't wait to get one of these G O R G E O U S fishhhh!!! They come in so many different colors and personalities eee.
 
Largemouth bass!! Oh, for aquariums...tie between plecos, tiger barbs and peacock gudgeons. Betta's a close 2nd to those.
 
Betta sp. Antuta. Bolivian rams and eel-tailed banjo cats may be #1 too. Or close seconds.

Mine is the Three Spot Gourami(Trichopodus Trichopterus). There's something that just clicks for me.

I forgot to say, I really really really like Honey Gouramis as well!
 
Jack Dempsey...stubborn, cantankerous, and always hungry....reminds me of someone I know well :) Have always had at least one.
 
Neolamprologous caudopunctatus or Tamazula Redtail Splitfins. The Tamazula Redtail Splitfins have great personalities and they’re easy to keep.
Awesome little fish and I hope I’ll be able to breed them.
Here’s a terrible picture of them

A very difficult choice. I really like rainbowfish, particularly yellow rainbowfish. Sometimes mine shows some stunning colours but because he/she rarely sits still it’s near impossible to get a good picture!
 
I honestly can’t choose. It’s just impossible for me to pick. I know everyone loves bettas but my little Otocinclus are so cool.

Well I've changed my mind in 2 months, it is now angelfish. I just found chinese paradise fish and absolutely fell in love with them for a hot minute there. But it's back to angelfish again.
 
So I am new to all of this fish stuff but I am loving it so far, what a great hobby to have. I'm interested to know what everyone's favourite fish is and why? I myself love the appearance and how graceful a angelfish swims, they are just beautiful.
 
Definitely hard to choose! I'd say my favorite freshwater fish probably has to be either a White Cloud or a Black Neon Tetra. Both are very undervalued, IMO - adults of both species are gorgeous in the right tanks.

I love my puffers, though, too. Here's one of mine (a Figure 8) hanging out and watching my camera.

They're a brackish fish (has to have a little salt in the water), but they're very docile compared to most puffers. I've got guppies and platies in with mine with no issues. Might be a good goal - a bit more complicated than a basic freshwater tank, but not by much.
 
I currently am favoring my peacock gudgeons at this point. Surprisingly interactive and personable for a shy fish that prefers to be in groups! My bn plecos are pretty fun too, but i have always liked plecos and catfish in general. And of course bettas.
 
I really like livebearers, and find it fun to learn about them. I also really like African cichlids, they have a nice personality, and are fun to watch. I find all fish are great in their own way, so it’s hard choosing!
 
Rainbow Cichlids, blue phantom plecos, red belly piranhas(I know they are boring, lazy, and eat alot. I too am all of those things and for some reason this makes me have a soft spot for them and want to properly own them.) I also adore ember tetras-they are the fiestiest most colorful little things
 
What is everyone’s top 5 tropical fish?

This was hard, as there are many fish I love. But I guess if I only have to name five, here goes it, in no particular order

1. (absolute, all-time favorite!) Hemirhamphodon tengah
2. Green Neon Tetra (Paracheirodon Simulans)
3. Medaka (Oryzias latipes)
4. Endlers
5. Any of the tiny Boraras species

I have to admit that I haven''t kept Endlers or Medakas yet, but that will probably change by next week! I've been thinking about them for years.
 
Not in order because I can't chose, but these are my top 5 (probably).

X. Fancy Goldfish (really really want)
X. Angelfish (really really want)
X. Hillstream loaches/ Striped Khuli loaches
X. German Blue ram
X. Bettas/ Pearl Gourami
I could go on and on
