Whats your favorite fish?

The genetic modification of Glofish has not been proven to cause any harm to the fish.

This topic has cropped up several times. Once I tried to find articles about this and failed to find any studies that had specifically looked at health, survival and longevity of glofish. So no it has not been proven to harm them, but neither has it been shown that it doesn't. Also I think you will find several papers showing the social behaviour and mate choice can be affected.

Can't wait to go to a zoo that has yellow coloured elephants, green coloured chimps, and pink coloured lizards at display...

How much are Koi Angels? Anyone knows how much Rams, Discus, and Gouramis are?

I live in pennsylvania.

Angels fish Type vary widely by size and type I have seen $30 koi angels.
There are many different varieties of Ram cichlids $5 - $15 bucks.
Discus, $60 each and they are schooling fish!

To answer the ops question, I Love Loaches!

 

[fishywoo]

Fancy Goldfish were my first favorite, then snails, then I fell in love with Bettas, and now this year I fell in love with shrimp. So all of those are my favorites now.

Favorite fish: Bettas
Most expensive: Either my Khulis or my Koi Angelfish

Hey guys! I'm still pretty new to fishkeeping but I've had a few guys. I think my favorite are the Asian dwarf cats - they're cute and I love how they sandwich themselves somewhere and just anchor. They turn red when you feed them brine shrimp too.

Contenders would be pygmy cats and kuhlis. Kuhlis would be my favorite but I don't like how skittish they are - they hide too easily whenever I move.

Invertebrates would be dwarf shrimp which have earned their own tanks because I adore them . And sulawesi rabbit snails (besnouted)

What are your favorites?

 

[Mudminnow]

I'm honestly not entirely sure which fish is my favorite. These may be my top 3:

• Siamese Algae Eater
• Cardinal Tetra
• Palmas Bichir

 

[Sewerrat]

Favorite currently are dojo loaches playful and like to try splashing me every time I open the lid for feeding. I'm also a big fan of rosy reds good activity level and nothing seems to bother them.

 

[Davidjfiii]

Curious… what is/are your favorite freshwater fish you keep?
I have two (if I had to choose) one being the Bumblebee Goby, they’re small but what great personality! Second are my Electric Blue Jack Dempsys. Still early stage with them and have read they can be a challenge to raise to maturity, but my hopes are high! They’re known to recognize their “person” and it seems mine have begun to know me.
(They’re in different aquariums)

 

[cdr63corv]

I love my discus, corys second

 

[Davidjfiii]

Discus are beautiful. Is it best to have a tank exclusive for discus, or do they do well in a community tank?
Cory’s are great! I got a big surprise when I had two pair up. Only had one baby grow to adulthood (by accident) but the process has been cool to observe.

It’s difficult to pick but I am extremely fond of ricefish, especially Daisy‘s ricefish, Purple pencilfish and many of the very tiny species like Microdevario, Boraras and similarly sized fish. I’m also quite fond of Blue badis.

 

[Sewerrat]

Dojo loach and three spot gourami. currently.

I acquired 8 pencilfish recently (not purple), I was indifferent at first about them, but now I really like them.
They school beautifly and have real personality.

 

[bgarthe]

Oh boy….that’s tough. Gotta go with Cardinal Tetras, Congo Tetras and Koi.

 

[cdr63corv]

I think it's best to set the tank up for discus. Seems some dither fish help to keep everyone calm. It's hard to get fish that get along with the temperature discus like and do well

I think there was another recent thread with this same intent: favorite-and-least-favorite-fish .

As for favorite fish, I will always have a soft spot for Killifish in general, Rivulus as a specialty, and Rivulus xiphidius in particular.

 

[SparkyJones]

Probably this guy currently and for a while, it's the big poppa that I started with from 3 years ago sill alive and doing well. I'm basically just doing angelfish for a few years now and been working with this variety. I'm just loving the orange to them.

one of his sons. well to be fair 5 of his sons and one unrelated silver just behind him, but just one thats completely in the picture.

Wow! What a beauty!

 

[KadenSlone04]

I probably view South American cichlids as the "coolest" but I don't actually have any. I think a keyhole cichlid pair would be nice to have in the proper setup.

Of the fish I have, I would say livebearers.

 

[Fishfunn]

Discus, Denison Barbs, clown loaches, marbled angels, cardinal tetras, plecos, cory catfish, eels, These are my favorites.

I love both my Betta and Ranchu, but I voted goldfish. My main fish I like to keep and the ones that got me into fish keeping from the start. =)

 

[AsShrimpleAsThat]

Corydoras are like the lil puppy dogs of the fish world

Thankyou for responding!

I have always enjoyed the tetras. They tend to be peaceful and fun to watch. At the moment, I have the white skirts along with 2 siamese algae eaters that prefer zucchini or fish flakes!

Sorry! I forgot tetras didn't I. Thankyou for responding.
You can change to tetras now!
I have white skirts too! Are yours aggressive?

I totally agree.

Deathstar31 Here it is!

I really like bettas. I know. They are so common, but I really love my 10g betta tank next to my dining room table. He basically hangs out with us during our meals, lol.

I also love loaches. They are very funny fish.

 

[Thunder_o_b]

I will say the cory. I have them in every aquarium (except the QT)

Thankyou. I am kind of frustrated about this. Mine would be guppies also. So I guess livebearers. In case other people read this and are confused my poll got merged with this one.

Exactly what I was going to say!
