Whitecloud09 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I was looking for a fish for my 10g when I thought of an idea for a topic, what is your favorite fish you have or want? My fav fish I have is WCMMs and what I want is a Mickey Mouse platy, just like them lol, so what is yours? Or your top 10 or 3 maybe? I see all the variety of fishkeepers, liking some things, trying new things and wanteing new things, I was curious so yeah what is your favorite fish? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricksonAquatics Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 The only fish I’ve kept to date has been a nerite and a betta😂but with my hopefully soon next setup I’d love to keep chili Rasboras, sparkling gouramis, salt and pepper Cory’s and someday Bolivian rams 🙂 and I’d LOVE to set up an outdoor mini pond with WCMM or medaka rice fish! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitecloud09 Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 Yeah, I have only kept 2 bettas (not at once) and WCMMs! But love each 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonske Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 After several years of fish-keeping I narrowed my preferences down to "fish with some brain cells", which is apparently more important than looks for me :) Currently this category includes a trio of blood parrots, an angel, and a leopard bushfish. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galabar Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I'm thinking, what would be my favorite fish? Maybe if I only could have one fish, what would it be? If that is the definition, definitely guppies. 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reefhugger Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I love Hillstream Loaches. Cute as can be and its fun to watch them interact. I also am fond of a koi Angelfish named Spot I've had for years. His wife Goldie died recently...I think he's kind of happy about that as she was a bit of a bully. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladette Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) Great Question! I love all Cory’s and plecos those are my top two for sure! But I recently got some killifish and I am in love with them! Thanks for putting such a cool post together! Excited to see what else everyone loves Edited March 16 by Ladette 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JE47 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I agree White Clouds are a must for me I have the gold variety which are so pretty. I would take corys as a close second they are so goofy plus they have given me an excuse to upgrade to another tank 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anewbie Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 (edited) My favorite type are wc dwarf cichild. Those with their natural colouring. Some species i have or will soon have include a. winkelfleck, b. cupido, i. bimaculata, a. ortega, m. ramirezi, a. cacatuoides (mean suckers), a. lineta, ... I guess we are suppose to post a picture so this is my male a. winkelfleck: and a. bitatina and laetacara dorsigera and ... well was going to do b. cupido but don't you think this is enough pictures ? I mean how many pictures do you all want ? Oh well we will do the cupido family and that is it: All photos are fishes i actually currently own; i have excluded pictures of fishes i owned in the past like this one: Edited March 17 by anewbie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they've got such unusual body shape, gorgeous pattern, and a funny/elegant way of movement! I particularly love that the pattern extends to the tail and the fins too. This is mine when it was a lot younger and smaller (it's about 5" now, I think) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefhugger Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Your pictures are very clear and focus is perfect. I'm curious about the plants and cichlids; I was under the impression cichlids like to dig them up. Your tanks say otherwise. I like plants so much I avoided cichlids despite appreciating how attractive they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony s Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 On 3/17/2024 at 5:15 AM, reefhugger said: I was under the impression cichlids like to dig them up Depends on the cichlids. Dwarf cichlids are very content with plants. Angels and discus are too. African cichlids and severums like to eat plants. Things like oscars and other large South American just like to rearrange their tanks, no matter what you like. so, very much a species by species thing 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
