I love everything. lol. If I can sit for a while and watch something, it automatically becomes my favorite.

My favorite swimming creatures would have to cephalopods though.

The purple firefish are the ones with the purple mouths, right? I think they have a video of them at live aquaria.

haha, it made me laugh how they were all staring at the camera, and how their 'front fins' ( I never paid much attention in the fish part of zoology lol) look like legs.

I had a chance to buy firefish today, but I haven't done any research on them, I think their funny too, with their giant dorsal fin.

I guess if I had to pick a favorite I'd pick the green or red mandarin.

And the pajama cardinals and banggai cardinals. I saw a really big cardinal fish over the weekend, and I didn't like how he looked. He looked dingy and not bright like the small ones. I don't know if thats just what happens to them when they get big or not.

you need a VERY mature tank. Mine almost starved....took him back to the lfs to live. I have a HUGE 20 gallon refuge on a 29 gallon tank......and it wasnt enough. they eat amphipods, and unless your tank is crawling with them......ugh, same with the mandarins.
