What fish do you WISH you had?

[kirkaz]

Would love to do a Hawaiian or Japanese Dragon Moray in it's own tank. Would also love a Crosshatch Pair....These are pretty realistic.

My less realistic (at this time) favorites would be a Conspic and Clarion.

CALICO TANG $4 SURE!

CALICO TANG $4 SURE!

hyhbrid tang albino with white and yellow.

 

[LargeAngels]

G. personatus, G. ballinae, blue potters, hybrid potters, true Hawaiin flame angels and this guy

Oh, yeah and someone's C. erlie (hehe)

 

[flameangel88]

I would build a tank around these three:

Conspic Angel
Wrought Iron Butterfly
Gem Tang

A healthy Multibarred angel. I know one person was successful for a couple of years, but lost it during a move. Of course, that's the one and only success story. My LFS wanted to slaughter one of his suppliers after they sent him one as a bonus. He's been successful with MI's, so he's trying it in the tank they're in.

A more reachable dream is a Luitenant Tang if I can manage to find myself a used 180.

I just ordered one last night but received a call around lunch time and was told the angel came down with something that they're not going to ship it to me because that's the last one in stock. Oh well, hopefully I can find a healthy one next time. Normally I would start with two but knowing how delicate they are that I decided to just getting one.

Arabian, Triangular, or Melon Butterfly, why do the best looking butterflies not eat? More realistic, still want, but know I shouldn't are Moorish Idol and Red tail Tamarin

 

[silverfly]

Clown trigger, undulated trigger, various butterflys and tangs that would need so much room that in my system they would just be miserable and covered in ich-got a 175g. Oh and a lion fish, clarki clowns-i have a marroon........

A 1" Bandit Angel

A 3" Conspic Angel

A 2" Banks Butterfly

A 2" Wrought Iron Butterfly

A 2" Clipperton

~Michael

Yeah, I can relate to those fish!!

 

[myerst2]

I cannot believe that some of you can actually list one fish much less a few. The fish I would want that is easily obtained would be a conspic. Though what I would really want is a 2"er. That is a bit more difficult and pricey. Here some others high on the list. Many of them angels. Hi my name is Tim and I too am addicted to angels!!! T

I want this fish at this size please!!! None of that 5" almost definately going to die size.

These are just the angels. Won't blow up this thread with all the other fish I dream of!!! T

A RCT Interruptus

+10000

Also a pair of Grade A Picassos, a Clarion juvi, a very small Gem Tang, a very small 1.5-2" Conspic, a group of 8-12 borb anthias, and of course one of those Clipperton (I mean Passers lol) that we saw on here not too long ago (a Juvi one)

Oh, and a pair of those clowns from Lord Howe.

 

[e55MD]

How about a Peppermint Angelfish?

 

[AuroraDrvr]

Pair of A. kingi Angelfish
Trio of G. semicinctus Angelfish
Trio of J. nigrirostris Butterflyfish
Pair of P. falcifer Butteflyfish

 

[synofreak]

My dream fish are fairly simple. An Orange shoulder tang, which I had a juv thrive for 2+months, but died to a face injury(skin missing/assumed Nem sting). Replaced with a bluejaw trigger = no room left.
And the Achilles tang. Not a big enough tank yet. But being a Harley Davidson man(black and orange), I will own it someday.

But on the bright side, I did own my FW dream fish for 5+ years. Synodontis Granulosus. Jet black/ white fin, african cat(actually the best I've ever seen,pics and in person). Sold to a buddy when got outta FW =).
Alotta dreams can come true, just need to put the nose to the grinding stone =).

 

[scottallert]

bull shark

 

[candeewolf]

harlequin tusk (aussie ofc)
blue-faced angel
achilles tang
fathead anthias (a giant school)

sooner or later I plan to have these (ok maybe not the achilles)
I'm a sucker for beautiful fish, regardless of their commonality
