this is a question i have for just opinions. I'd like to know what everyone thinks is the most beautiful fish. Personally i like CPD's, Rams, other microrasboras, and Celebes rainbowfish. I was just wondering if you guys had favorites and what they are and what their scientific names are so i can look them up! thanks!:thumbsup:
Hristo takes the most amazing pictures of fish I've ever seen, I keep telling him he needs to publish more of them, especially in a Killie book or something. I think it's wonderful how he posts them so freely to share with people. He has to personally own one of the biggest and most beautiful collections of Killies on the planet!!!
Largely because of his pics, I have to say that I think Killies are one of the most fantastically beautiful FW fish.
Cardinal tetras will always have first place in my heart and my tanks, though.
Killies are nice and I have to say some of the nothos have amazing coloration. Chili and Phoenix rasboras are really nice too but I just love bettas. Currently my choice would be betta rubra which can show pretty crazy coloration. Betta macrostoma is also a nice fish in my opinion.
i personoly think the most beautiful and cheap are neon tetras a glowing neon blue stripe and red glowing stripe is one of the most beautiful and easy to keep fish and also dwarf blue or flame gouramis
Hmmm, beauty is pretty subjective and it's too hard to pick just one. Gotta be natural coloration though, no line breeds. I'm not into "color" anyways, it's more about lines and patterns.
I feel I'm only competent to talk about cichlids. Here goes:
Large SA Cichlid: Geophagus altifrons or S. jurupari
Small SA Cichlid: Mikrogeophagus altispinosa or just about any Apisto
Large African: Altolamprologus calvus or C. frontosa
Small African: 'Lampgrologus' stappersii (no agreed upon species name) or P. demasoni
WOW! so many awesome fish to choose from! Keep it up guys! I really wish i could have all of these in all different tanks... but i wont be greedy Just looking at some of these is enough! i get way to happy looking at fish......
