What's your dream fish?

[Chris]

It took my fish just 1 year to grow from 5 cm to 40 cm in a 4 ft tank. Then less than a year in the pond to grow to 80cm, longer than the biggest Koi. It swallowed a 20-30cm Koi, with the tail sticking out from its mouth. So it went into a large lake. If it's still alive now (2 years from the release), it could be 1.2-1.5 metres long!!

Anyway, it was a really beautiful fish. I could play with it with my hands inthe pond. It eats everything from shrimps to small fish to Koi!

This is a very tough trigger to find....you need to specially order it in....cost ard $700 to 1K plus....

It is one of the gem ard.....if you are a trigger lover.

I am....and my wife is a big fan as well. There a reefers here who go crazy over fishes less than an inch size..Each his own.

I am just responding to the thread title:

"What's the favourite piece of lifestock you'd most like to have? Invertebrates included... " ......why not?

Let me see...If you get all 10 fish, you will need at least 8 tanks to keep them.

I still like the red box fish from GBR that someone posted many months back.

Hey Dispar,

Ya got a good tatse my friend.

My most wanted list:

1.Debelius Angel

2.Hotumatua (had two that died).

3.Resplendens

The Debelius is really hard to get, the other two I can get, just a matter of time.

I also want a Rhomboidalis to complete my wrasse collection in my reef tank.
