Fishy Wish Lists

Postby OinKY » Wed May 09, 2012 7:46 pm

Put in Off-Topic 'cause I'm sure it'll go that way...and pretty sure it's already been done.Just not lately.

Just curious what everybody's "Wish List" is on fish they'd like to have. Try to keep it realistic,fish you could actually keep in your home or a yard pond.
Just know someone's going to say Whale Shark or Arapaima.

I'll start...
Dovii,Red Tiger Mota,Haitian,Umbee,La Ceiba (again),Loisellei,Chancho,Bay Snook (Green),Lyonsi (again),Cuban,Balzanii,Inca Stone,Silversaum,Argentea,and at least one of every wild Astronotus "type". The list's a lot longer,just all I can think of right now
All doable,just need space.

...and yours ?
Just think about it.

Port Jackson Shark, saw one of these bad boys at my local LFS the other day and I wanted it! Problem being you need an absolute minimum 1000 Gallons, maybe more. Don't know why they'd have one for sale (unless someone ordered it) so when I win the lottery Ill get my shark! ;D
