My Exciting Fishy Life My Other Not So Exciting Fishy Life My Non-Fishy Life
Occasionally, I would have some trimmings to give away in exchange for a can of Milk Coffee. PM me to deal.
How big is your tank to keep this?
anyway this is not a fish hehe
My tanks is only 4 feet but my wife thinks I have one since I spend so much time with my tank.
I do not think there is one most popular fish.
Neon Tetras and gold-fishes appeals to the general public.
We, aquascapists like Otos and SAEs.
Personally, my favourite is Bettas but its a pity that they do not do so well in a community tank. Well, its a 50/50 but I would only get one when I see one that I really like.

Maybe top 5 most wanted fishes?
Top 5 for planted and non planted?
My favourite fish will be corydoras hastatus
My current favorite fish are Boraras brigittae... tiny yet have intense bright red coloration and not shy. Can put in any tank, big or small. Makes small tanks look larger.
2nd favorite are Otocinclus cocama (zebra oto), eats up soft algae on tank glass and plant leaves, and has interesting striped pattern.
Mine are the pymgy corydoras!
REAlly cute!
Here are my favorite fishes for various setups.
Nano Planted tank:-
(i) Boraras sp.
(ii) Paedocypris progenetica
(iii) Indostomus paradoxus
(iv) Paracheirodon simulans (Green Neon tetra)
(v) Sundadanio axelrodi
Planted tank:-
(i) Paracheirodon sp. (Both cardinals and neon)
(ii) Inpaichthys kerri (Blue Emperor tetra)
(iii) Boehlkea fredcochui (Cochu's Blue tetra)
(iv) Rasboroides vaterifloris (Fire rasbora)
(v) Poecilocharax weitzmani
Schooling fish species are beautiful and magnificent when displayed in large numbers. I generally think the Paracheirodon sp. (Neons and Cardinals) alike are likely to attract newcomers to the aquarium hobby simply because of their stunning colors.
I remember somewhere in an old fish magazine archive way back in the ol' days, some time in the 50s' or 60s', neons are forbidden from being placed in fish competition simply because they are likely to become show champion. Also, there is a risk of them being stolen due to the high price they command back then.

Currently keeping large predatory fish 🐟
Platies are my best, especially Redwags and Bluewags.
Bumblebee platies are also superb, but I couldn't find any locally.
LIFE IS UNBEARABLE WITHOUT A FISH TANK!!!
Rainbow fishes, but the species we get locally is very limited. Most coming from australia, which is quite controlled.

1. Corydora hastatus
2. Boraras brigette
3. Sudadanio axelrodi
4. Dwarf loaches
5. Zebra octo
i currently have the first 4 but too bad never been successful with 5.
I like Cory fish, but mine seem like destroy my HC plant?
Microdevario Kubotai. Love the color and the top illuminate a blue crystal like hue when swimming under stronger light areas.
Some of the freshwater gobies like wui goby, neon blue( Stiphodon Astropurpureus), they are diggers so the usual planted tank may not be suitable for them unless you don't mind them moving stuff on the substrate.
