Do you have a favorite species you've kept? Maybe an individual that you really liked?
For me, my favorite single fish was a dwarf lion fish. When it was time to eat he would come to the surface and wait for me to drop his food. If I held the food above the water he would spit water at me until I dropped it. If he wasn't venomous Inwould have fed him by hand!
Favorite species is a lot harder. I really like Yoke Darters because they will sit on a perch and move their head around to watch you. On the other hand, I had a Xenophorus captivus colony for a number of years and regretted ever selling them off.
As a group I've kept more species of livebearers and Rasboras than anything else so I must like them. Well, okay, a ton of cichlids too!
Okay, FAVORITE fish you've ever kept, and why?

Favorite so far would be my black kuhli loaches. I really enjoy watching them. They have an interesting personality.

The last time I had any kuhli loaches was when I was a kid and I only had one. Guess I need to try them out again.

Cardinal tetras are my favorite. The colors are just astounding on them. But I'm also a big fan of Corydoras cats, all the various loricarids, and coolie loaches (especially the giant coolie Acanthophthalmus myersi).
