Okay, FAVORITE fish you've ever kept, and why?

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!
