What is your dream fish?

[Kat_Rigel]

If you had unlimited space, money, and time to maintain, what would your dream fish be? I know Cory would love a Fly River Turtle (and shout out to him for making sure it's done ethically and legally.) Right now, my goals are pretty doable; I would love either a Saddled or Delhezi Bichir and an Oscar. But as I'm in a 3rd floor, 1 bedroom apartment, that's not realistic at the moment.
What about everyone else? (Turtles, frogs, and other aquatic life welcome!)

I'd love to have a saltwater biome tank with inshore wreck fish from the mid-Atlantic, like black sea bass, tautog, flounder, triggerfish, sea robin, and such.  I'd love to watch the fish I catch and eat as they behave in a massive aquarium, but again, it's just a dream.

There’s a practical benefit to it though, if all really goes downhill quickly...🍣

My dream fish is dwarf seahorse. Gonna have to be really really good at many escalating levels of difficulty before trying that one.

When I had my first tank (20 gal) back in the late 60's I wanted Discus. I even kept a few with very limited success. I have a few tanks now with many different species of fish that I really like but Discus will always be THE FISH for me. Now they have a much bigger tank to swim in.

My dream is owning crocodilians I am the type of crazy that I will own at least one one day. I am looking at getting a morlets or a broad snouted caiman but these are species that I need the room to keep and so I'll have to wait a while before I can get them. A American alligator is on the list as well but that will probably come when I have the space and someone who doesn't have the space needs to re-home their pet. I own a 3 foot alligator gar named bubbles Right now he is almost 10 years old and in a 800 gallon aquarium. the dream tank for him is a 20 foot wide by 8 feet deep by 50 feet long but that will take time and money so it's something I also have to work towards.

My dreams change every time I go to a pet market.  The latest edition is a bunch of longfin platinum koi and a big black ghost knife.

I am with @Paul , it is still discus for me. Watching a breeding pair in a big tank is pretty cool.

But, now that @RovingGinger has mentioned it...maintaining a breeding colony of dwarf seahorses could be...dang this forum for putting ideas into my head!

I kept a clown knife once.  Amazing fish to watch eat!

My dream fish for the longest time was a Flowerhorn. I found one semi-locally and couldn't pass him up. He's a big jerk, but also playful like a little puppy, I love it. 

The other I'd really love to have eventually would be a Vieja synspilum.
