thestooge Hobbyist Posts: 77 Kudos: 61 Votes: 0 Registered: 04-Jan-2006	I will get things started. I really like 2 kinds; Silver hatchet tetra and Lemon tetra. They are both fascinating fish! But to pick my favorite, I would have to say the hatchets! They are truly a unique fish (I love their shape) and are just amazing to watch! They are beautiful top level fish that interact with their enviroment very well. I like my hatchets! Fish CAN fly!

bettachris Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004	i was never really into tetras, and currently still have none, but i must say that my favorite would be cardinals.

pookiekiller12 Fish Addict Posts: 574 Kudos: 633 Votes: 41 Registered: 13-Apr-2004	For a peaceful tank, Neons and marble hatchetfish. For a nippy/slightly aggressive tank, Cochu's blue tetras.

Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003	My favorite would have to be any species in the genus Hemigrammus. I don't know why, they're just cool. Maybe its because nearly all of the tetra contaminants I find are Hemigrammus. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

illustrae Fish Addict Posts: 820 Kudos: 876 Registered: 04-May-2005	I don't have any, but I have absolutely loved Congo tetras ever since I read about them online, even before I ever saw one in person, at which point I simply fell in love with them. Hoping that there must be a word for everything I mean...

aquapickle27 Enthusiast Posts: 182 Kudos: 98 Votes: 55 Registered: 28-Jan-2006	I have always liked the look of the serpae tetra, but in my experiences they were always too agressive. †Aquapickle†

Tetra Fan Mega Fish Posts: 1203 Kudos: 1081 Votes: 63 Registered: 11-Apr-2004	My newly discovered favorites are definately Rosy's. I love watching them school back and forth across my tank.

Calilasseia Ultimate Fish Guru Panda Funster Posts: 5496 Kudos: 2828 Votes: 731 Registered: 10-Feb-2003	Hard for me to pick a favourite right now, but I find it difficult to contemplate a community aquarium without Cardinals for some reason! Others on my 'hit list' of desirable species include Lemons, Rosies, Rummy-Noses, Diamond Tetras and Black Phantoms. One drop dead gorgeous Characoid I'd love to keep someday (but will need very specialised facilities for) is the Black Morpho Tetra, Poecilocharax weitzmani, but that is VERY DEFINITELY an expert's fish, one for the dedicated specialist. Sigh ... Panda Catfish fan and keeper/breeder since Christmas 2002
