What fish is the one you really really want but haven't got yet?

There are so many fab fish out there and we always seem to want more than we can realistically have don't we? So i was just wondering what you would love to have but haven't got yet for whatever reason?

There are loads that i would like.....so its a tough question for me!

At the minute though i really have a yearning to have a tank based around elephant noses! There is something very mysterious about them and I do like seeing shy fish becoming comfortable in an aquarium environment - I love that they like heavily planted tanks so the whole aquarium needs to be nurtured for them, and the electrical impulses they give off just fascinate me.

Unfortunately i am unlikely to be able to get a tank like this - It would take a pretty big tank to be able to have more than one elephant nose and there is no room for another tank for a start LOL, but also i have read the elephant nose can be quite difficult to actually get to feed in the tank and often die from starvation even when there is plenty of food around - I would be devastated if this happened in my tank so i choose to admire them from afar.....

zebra obliquins love them

Not sure what they are like! Do you have any pics you can post?

its not wat fish i would really like and cant get its how many tanks and how many different kinds of fish terry has heaven in a terreced house lol

Hi paul - id love to get some of the really nice lethrinops species like albus or marginatus stunning - i havent seen these for sale anywhere yet

would love to get orechromis tanganicae, or orechromis niloticus probably one of the most heavily farmed fish in the world (tilipia)but i cant get my hands on any.another cichlid would be an umbee.

Xenotilapia nigrolabiata red-princess from Lake Tangynika for me, had others on the list of wants but have been fortunate to get most of them, top of that list was Tropheus Ilangi and we were able to buy some a couple of months ago.

For me it would have to be some Cynotilapia Afra Cobue

silver dollar's ok i no its not one of the hard fish to get lol but i had 4 big's ones tel my placo wanted to eat them so i will wait for a bit to get them agine.

I would say they are quite easy to get but to get some really nice good shaped and good coloured ones can be tricky enough - i used to have about 10 or 12 i think many many years ago - lovely fish but have never seen any fish that can eat plants as fast LOL!
