What's Your Dream Showpiece Fish?

[grallster]

My dream fish were a pair of bellus angels, which I picked up in march. Now I think it would be a candy basslet.

My dream tank would be a majestic angel, white ribbon eel, and acouple triggers. I have my favorite trigger, picasso but would love to have acouple of triggers picasso niger undulated etc.

I'm a bit of a wrasse freak so:
Trios of Cirrhilabrus Balteatus, Sanguineus, Lineatus, Lanceolatus, and Lunatus. Pairs of Anampses Lennardi, Choati and Chrysocephalus.
Those in bold I have, most of the rest I can only dream.

Awesome guys

Some great fish listed here!

I'd also love to have Crosshatch Triggers, but want to try and keep shrimp

Also would love either a Dragon Moray or a Berndt's Moray... but I like keeping fish lol

I see that you like your fish but I do have the Berndt's Moray. I live hawaii and caught one. Let me know if you still want it trying to sell it cause its too big for my tank.

Pair of pellet eating (we're dreaming, right ) Chaetodon austriacus

To quote John Stewart of The Daily Show..." Two things...":

One: Those fish are beautiful!!
Two: You must speak fish to get them to eat pellets!!!!! Ive read thats nearly impossible!!

30 years ago they said the same about Regal Angels. Now we have pairs of them and they prefer flakes and pellets over frozen food. The trick was to get juveniles or subadults. The fully grown adults are still making nothing but trouble. And after seeing how fast the tiny baby Regals grow I would only go for those the next time.

And not too long ago the same was said about Orange-spot Filefish and now people have them eating pellets and spawning.

IMO there is no such thing as a fish that can't get coerced into eating. The trick is usually to get the fish young enough so that they are still open to try new things and making sure they haven't been already damaged beyond repair (=starved to the point where they lost the feel of hunger).

This should not even be a question. The correct answer is Genicanthus personatus (masked angel)
