What fish would you rather keep?

Don't forget to tell us why.

african cichlids.
cause they have nice colors, they dont get to big, and u can keep alot of them in one tank.

africans, because they are colorful, aggressive, and entertaining to watch sometimes.

My uaru. Cuase they get big and are easy to care for.

I like Africans for their colors and activity level.

african cichlids, they are quite entertaining and aggressive enough to feed em feeders when they are large enough

Other... I love my corys and loaches but I like my Africans as well........ but someone made it single answer only

A male and Female Chilli Red Arow...someday...not here

Loves when I do that.

Africans, just as previously mentioned, colors & activity... nuff said

Saltwater surgeonfish-Tangs. These are the most colorful fish in water.
Once acclimated, they well swim on all levels in an aquarium.

Africans, they easy to care for and they are cheap to buy

with ALL AFRICAN LOVERS!!!!!!

I'm torn on this one, have only one species of africans now and have had them for many years just love them they're always entertaining!! They are pretty much tougher than snot, eat pretty much anything offered only gripe is when I have to catch the youngsters out of the tank it has to be basically stripped, water level dropped to 8" and this last time had to divide the tank in half to catch one blankety blank blank (insert colorful words kids were told to go outside for a bit) fish. Then there are my SA's love which tend to be a favorite of mine with more than 1 type / species of them residing in numerous tanks LOL

I like Africans because they have so many different colors and they are cool to watch.

africans rule baby up by a mill

Other! If I had to choose one it would have to be goldfish :)

dojos and cory cats just because....hey I'm a wife/mom and that's a good enough reason, right husbands and kids....LOL


oh thought of reasons....dojos are hardy fish in my opinion and my experience and corys hide my overfeeding habit

Africans because they have so many different colors and morphologies...and they breed like crazy (some of them)...which helps to pay for their food and more tanks. lol

i luv my dojo hes neat and i luv my balloon their very personable, they wont follow my bf's finger but only mine. they do alot of funny things my older girl likes to go to my bubble wands rush in and be floated up by them, she likes to rush thro the water fall that my filter does and float where the force takes her she will do it every once in awhile but its very funny seeing her do it. my swordtails r really neat as well but i like my fat little fish blubbering on like there no world that will hurt her.

Africans for size color behavior etc

They make for a fun and entertaining tank. I can just sit there and watch them play.

Fortunately, I run enough tanks to keep some of just about everything. But African cichlids were the fish that got me to move from a single tank household to having lots of tanks. The colors are so vibrant that I'm asked by all non-cichlid keepers if they're saltwater. And they pay as much attention to me as I do to them. I like being watched and followed by fish hahaha

African cichlids- very diverse, yet still similar
