leongreenway Enthusiast Posts: 205 Kudos: 199 Votes: 0 Registered: 23-Feb-2005	Correct Cichlidae, they are I recon one of the cleverist of all tropical fish. with possible the exception of a paradise fish. When Cichlids do stuff its alway intersting to watch, they always seem to have a game plan. I am not a massive fan of fancy large tailed fish that just flit about. I wont slag off Cyprinidae too much as I have an excellent Red Tailed Black Shark though. But each to their own

Cup_of_Lifenoodles Fish Guru Posts: 2755 Kudos: 1957 Votes: 30 Registered: 09-Sep-2004	Yeah, it's been a recent undertaking (the silurid fascination, that is). Sadly, they only come in two sizes; small and wels, not to mention that all memebers of the family, save one or two, are practically unavailable in my area. In fact, my reasonably-obtainable-within-this-decade-dream fish list goes somewhat in this order, the first two being notable silurids: Leaf catfish Blue sheatfish Scobinancistrus L-14

sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004	Since it's nearly impossible to pick just one favorite species of fish, or even one genera, let's see what the most popular fish families are. Broadening the terms should make it a little easier to choose, though I'll admit that I have trouble choosing just one. I'm going to have to go with Callichthyidae, though Characidae is a close second. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Shinigami Ichthyophile Catfish/Oddball Fan Posts: 9962 Kudos: 2915 Registered: 22-Feb-2001	Piscidae. Family of All Fish. ...Okay, I made that up.:%) Loricariidae is cool, but I also love Pimelodidae, Scorpaenidae, and Potamotrygonidae as whole groups (rather than individual species within the groups). -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.
