Other than Black Mollies and the Black Guppies, what solid black fish are there?

phantom knife fish *though it has the white band*
black angel fish

Bettas can come in solid black. I've seen a couple at LFS or Petco.

Black ruby barb's are mostly black with a little red in the tail.
Note..in fish tank's at store,,they may look just like tiger barb's but once settled in your/my tank and enough males/females,,they look cool (black).

Black ghost.

Some of the lake Victoria cichlids have solid black males. Most of the males of genus Elassoma (the pygmy sunfish) have black and blue males. Zoonogeticus tequila, a goodeid, has dark grey (if not black) males with a yellow tail.

I have a mostly black with some very dark blue cichlid hapse , painted the back wall of my tank black looks good with white sand , but now its hard to see the fish he blends in so well and he's 4 plus inches.

There are strains of black swordtails, almost all black with a blue shimmer. A true all black sword appears to be genetically impossible, linked to a fatal gene,

Goldfish come in deep beautiful velvety black.
There are many varieties to choose from, here are examples:

Dragon Eye (aka Moor)

Ranchu

Pearlscale

 

[lamiskool]

some plecos are completely black....curious though, why do you ask?

Thank you everyone.

Lamiskool I have a small school of white skirt tetras and am looking for that solid black offset.

 

[Diana]

How big is the tank? Skirts can get fairly big, compared to the size I often see them in stores.

 

[Acro]

Good to know what your keeping . . . don't mix them with goldfish.

Let us know what fish you decide to offset your white skirts with!

Diana it is 125 gallons. Right now it has the white skirts, I wanna say 6 of them. 20 neons, an albino rainbow shark and I put 10 tiger barbs in it today.

I do like Angelfish but the addition of the Tiger Barbs pretty much rules them out, so the search continues.

***I know the neons and barbs may be a problem in the future. (The barbs are smaller than the neons right now) I can move the neons.
