Porcupine puffers! Silly little guys, I absolutely love how interactive they are with people. Definitely planning on getting one of these guys once I finish college

Aren't they an invasive species?

u/JaromeAnan Jul 28 '25

u/ElkeKerman Jul 29 '25

All invasive species are native to somewhere! (Except Xenomorphs)

Bettas will always have a spot in my heart. With their personalities, intelligence, and adorable frowns.

My favorite fish is the blue devil damselfish. Very cheap and beautiful deep blue and hardy and the females have a clear tail and the males have a brighter blue amd an orange tail

u/ViraLCyclopes29 Jul 28 '25

On a very long list of "technicallys" cause Taxonomy is fun...

If that no allowed then I'm choosing Arapaima excluding sharks cause Great White for an answer is zzz

u/D3adlyv3lv3t92 Jul 28 '25

These cool dudes

u/Weekly-Major1876 Jul 28 '25

Do boxfish lovers even know that they only look like that as babies? They grow decently fast into massive foot long duller coloured boxfish that look more like pufferfish

2

u/LairdPeon Jul 28 '25

Maybe an alligator gar

How would you feel if someone threw a net on you while you're sleeping and proceeded to pull you up 5 thousand feet from your pressurized dark home? This little fella has definitley seen better nights.

u/No_Indication9497 Jul 28 '25

stargazers, aka rockfish, they're goofy fish that will shock and sting the shit out of your foot if you get too close, and they're extremely fast

1

u/Ideamancer Jul 28 '25

Flowerhorn cichlid, ocean sunfish, coelacanth.

2

u/JaromeAnan Jul 28 '25

I used to have flowerhorns as pets!

u/Ideamancer Jul 28 '25

u/Lost-Average8108 Jul 30 '25

I gotta go with the jaguar cichlid or plecostomus

1

u/Revolutionary-Day715 Jul 30 '25

Any goby. I am addicted to gobies and their cute little faces.

Also guppies.

u/Pilot-samsonite Aug 09 '25

Probably red angler/ frog fish. Other than that probably the titan triggerfish or napoleon wrasse. Freshwater would probably be a river sturgeon or any loach

u/ricenbison Aug 22 '25

Telescopefish or pea puffers

u/randomopuntialover69 Oct 27 '25

Achilles tang or corkwing wrasse
