Figured I'd try to start a thread that will have a little fun.

If tank size and price were NO issue, which fish out there do you wish you could have that you DON'T CURRENTLY have?

I guess I'll go first and say...either black tang or gem tang. I can't choose between the two. :lmao:

It would have to be earles fairy wrasse. That would complete my wrasse fish list but nearly impossible to obtain and comes with a hefty price tag.

What was it called...Parrot Jawfish- the one on Blue Planet that has a mouth full of horse teeth. It swims around all day and eats rock. :)

Great choice and a good chase. I'll go for that and a crazy looking koi tang, too.

I love those! :) I've seen them in Mexico, snorkeling. I want one.

And I'd like a tank big enough to house a French angel pair so they had all kinds of room, along with a pair of ocean triggerfish, Canthidermis sufflamen. I've seen these snorkeling in Mexico, too. And a queen trigger...

Oh, was that ONE fish? I'd like the whole biotope! :beer:

Too many to name/think of, so I'll just say all of them in either pairs, harems, shoals, or schools depending on the fish.

I am with you 100%. I simply love this angel!

As for the black and white fish, I am the same way. Most of my fish meet the ying yang requirement. (Black/White) ;)



A fish that I would LOVE to have is the Amphichaetodon howensis!!!!!!!!!!

Oh and a Sohal Tang. I would feel bad about keeping one in anything less than 300g.
What can I say, I have a thing for humongous Sohal Tangs.

Centropyge Boylei tops the list.

One that I've recently seen for sale and regrettably didn't buy was Axelrod's Tiger Blenny (E. axelrodi). Only about 1 inch long and very shy; but damn cute.

Along those dream lines I would have to say a school of manta rays. More realistically I would say just about any tang (I only have a 40 breeder :(
