Thanks for producing the great video amzar. My vote goes for the Blue Ribbon Eel. I managed a large lfs in Dallas in the late 80s and had the chance to care for a large variety of fish. I agree with your pick being a top contender. My runner up would be the clown butterfly, though you do not see them in the trade much any more.

My favorite fish is a Black Volitan Lionfish. I know they are destructive in the wild as well as in a fish tank, but they are beautiful. The 'wings' on them are awesome looking, and throwing a feeder or two or three in the tank and watching them get sucked up whole in half a second is amazing every time.

Bandit angel or Conspicuous. Have more personality than any fish I have ever seen, not to mention thier beautiful!

The volitan lionfish looks great especially when it's full size in a tank on its own.

Possum wrasse, they always get my vote for the best fish. I like that they are open swimmers, but can be in nano tanks because of their small size. They are also very personable.

I like orange spotted filefish , colors and personality not like any other fish

Some Clarion Angels are absolutely beautiful

My vote goes with Cleidopus gloriamaris, the Pineapplefish. It's a goal of mine to keep one someday.

I'm a fan of the dragon wrasse.

My favorite by far is my Red Sea regal angel... Very striking colors and a very fun fish to watch swim.

I'm not sure... for the ones you can keep in an aquarium, I guess frogfish are my favorite. I want one someday...

Great choice! They're so ugly it's cool. I would love to have one as well. Actually, when I get my PhD I want to study Lophiiformes. Anglers as a whole are the stuff of nightmares, and that makes them pretty cool. If ever there was a heavy metal fish, it would be them.

Dude...that's so metal.

I really like Sohals.

I'm planning to get a frogfish tank once I save up around $500 and have space.

Can you keep that in an aquarium?

 

[anbosu]

Can you keep that in an aquarium?

Yeah if you've got several thousand dollars a year to spend on food for it.

I've always wanted a blue ribbon eel... So majestic when they swim
