I just love watching the fish swim, they're in the tv room and much preferable to watch even though there's only one station.
I really like my 25cm goldspot swimming, just like watching a rag moving around.
Clown Loaches fabulous fun guys to watch and petricola synodontis again really eye catching.
My number one goes to clown loaches.
What's yours and what do you like about them.

They get really angry at others that come close to the anemone aswell haha, feisty little buggers

It's a draw between my flamebacks & plecos. The flamebacks are really active and feisty, always chasing each other. Plecos because they change colours so much and sometimes even just seeing one is a treat because they hide away haha.

38 cm sailfin? Boy am I going to be trouble when mine gets to that size, more population reduction than I thought. They say a goldspot is up to 25cm, anyone got bigger.

Yeah Bickley's Plecco is a freaking beast!!!

My favorite fish are my Kigoma frontys, they remind me of grumpy old men!! smile.gif although I've just got some tropheus Ilangi and there gorgeous fish to watch smile.gif

Like Joey my black clown was so funny, he was to big for his favorite coral so would just bury his face in it and leave his back half hanging out biggrin.gif

id say mine is my 25cm green severum... front on he looks just like paul of the movie..paul.

the fact he gets himself into small places is so fun to watch, he always forgets how big he is.

I don't if my wife thinks our goldspots are cute. Somehow seeing him hanging there with his mouth sucking onto the glass doesn't make her feel good eludes me.
Gotta love our glass suckers

Gotta agree with steve on this one, occys and multis have got to be some of the most interesting and interactive fish that you can get.

I love watching my 30cm mangrove jack cruising around his tank though, hes a freaking unit and is like a big aquatic puppy dog with a bad attitude. Im sure he watches me more than I watch him though, he either really likes me or wants to eat my face. Im not game to find out which haha.

Occies for personality. Tropheus for colony interaction.

Tang featherfins in breeding dress and dancing around the tank drawing the girls back to their pit my fav to watch.

I find myself always watching my 20cm Black Ghost Knife fish and my 3 clowns loaches. The biggest loach and my knife fish always hang out together.

I have 7 loaches and you should see them pigging out on zucchini (of course some of you know exactly what I'm talking about), all of them going for it. When one has had his fill you see him just lying there motionless until the food goes down a bit and then back at it again. Impossible to get bored with these guys. Don't know what's going to happen when I have 7 large loaches pigging out, maybe a zucchini each.
