What is the next "IT" fish?

[SDguy]

Actually I stand corrected..a quick search even found someone with a 5 year old one

I thinks tangs are going out (kind of) and angels are coming in. It's all relative.

Here a few that I would love to see available more often. Tim

I think tangs and angels are great. They are some of my favorite but they require large tanks. It might be that some of the previously popular fish are dropping off because people who want them have them so demand should decrease.

I wish I could find fish that are truly schooling fish in our aquariums. Those would be great.

Wow, Tim, what's that fish at the top of your last post? Stunning.

Aurora Anthias

 

[SDguy]

Oooo...

 

[glassbox-design]

I agree with Anthias.

Angels are just starting to be introduced into reefs more widespread in the US, next will be Butterflies as SPS keepers get use to a little polyp munching

 

[Philwd]

I think it will be whatever RCT decides to breed when they start back up. Hopefully it's interruptus again.

 

[bagzipgeo72]

doubt it will be the next it fish but my all time favourite is moon wrasse so colourfull and the most active fish ever

 

[seapug]

Lumpsuckers!

 

[happyface888]

That has got to be the strangest smallest looking fish

 

[triggerfish1976]

I remember reading about these guys in Marine Biology.

Maybe someone will finally collect this guy (aka coolect shrimp goby EVER!). I'm sick of only seeing them in dive shots

Maybe even some temperate species :eek2:

Anthias anthias is actually very popular in Mediterranean tanks for years. Ofcourse with Chromis chromis :rollface:

 

[Chibils]

Ozadars, I've always loved your sig.

Also, I vote Xanthichthys triggers.

Well luckily the beautiful anthias balance out the chromis

 

[chrisstie]

I'm willing to bet as the popularity of nanos kick in as well as the relatively adaptability that some pipefish have, they will become popular. We have many people in my area keeping the dragon faces in reef tanks and they do pretty well.

The blue spotted jawfish maybe becoming more popular, but I vote to rename it the blue spotted jumped fish.

 

[Justinandkrista]

I like that pic of the potters angel. I think its a great looking fish.

They probably will show up. I use to think the same thing about Discodipinna Griessingeri .
