Fish in lots of tanks you think are just beautiful

[MombasaLionfish]

This is sort of a piggy back off of the thread fish in lots of tanks you think are just ugly. I really like mandarin gobies and lionfish. What do you think?

(not my pictures pulled of the internet)

I’ll bite. I think almost all fish look great but my top three would have to be
1. Purple tang
2. Dragonetts
3. Prawn goby / yellow watchman goby

There are so many!! I also think the mandarin goby is super cool looking, and, as my avi will attest I love me some coral beauties. But if I ever get a big enough tank the crown jewel will be an Annularis.

Leopard Wrasse are one of my favorites. Not only are they visually stunning, they are 100% reef compatible and peaseful. In addition, they will happily search the tank from lights on to lights off looking for little pest to munch on.

I love the way the pajama cardinals look. Such beautiful markings. Mandarin gobies are also nice.

My all time favorite foods are the mandrin goby and the queen angel

So do you fatten them up in your tank until you are ready to eat them?

Sooooo many fish to put in this thread. I'll tag a few people who I hope will add some photos in here. @chopsie @fabutahoun @OrionN @evolved @ChristopherKriens

Crosshatch and clown triggers come to mind, although I am not sure if they are in "lots" of tanks.

For fish more commonly found in our tanks, +1 on leopard wrasses, especially the female blue star leopards!

Blue spotted jawfish. Not so much for pure looks (which are pretty darn good), but add on to that the personality, and this is one of my favorite fish. White tail bristletooth tang is up there as well.

Coral beauties are beautiful and don't get enough love

Purple Tangs are just perfect.

That is not a Mandarin pair. Rather, it is two males that are fighting The smaller male have his spike broke off. Beautiful fish.

Two different McCoskeri, in different tanks of course.

I'd have to disagree.

I've debated many times giving up my cuc for one of these.

I'd have to disagree.

This is a real female, and below is the picture of the fish we are talking about. Too bad we don't have the owner here who can chime in and certified that it is two male that he is having fishting. One will be remove soon after the picture taken I am sure of it. Not only the shape of the first dorsal fins are different, as we can easily see, the fins over all are proportionally smaller, if only very slightly so. BTW, the picture is not my picture but one from the internet.
