"COMMON FISH" you've never kept but want to???

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
1) A nice pond of Koi that I could enjoy for years and leave to my children.
2) Red Tailed Catfish
3) Rope Fish
4)A large Black Ghostknife

I would like to have a very large room with plenty of windows for natural sunlight. The floor would actually be a divided pond with Koi on one side and large Catfish on the other. There would also be waterfalls, fountains, and stepping stones to walk through the area with several seated viewing areas. This is more of a dream than a possible future endeavor. The Rope Fish and BGK would be nice to have in an aquarium. I could actually set up an aquarium for a Rope Fish and BGK now, but my tanks are currently dedicated to other fish that would not make good tankmates for them. I know this is far more info than you wanted so I'll end it.

Wild caught versions of most anything.
 
Asian Arowana : money, money, and illegal!:(
Arapaima: money, tank size, and illegal!:(
alligator gar: money, tank size, and my mom don't like those teeth!:D
 
Swordtails, corydoras catfish, and four-lined pims.
 
Oh, yeah! Pictus cats! Common as dirt but for a good reason.
 
Yeah, stingrays for me too if they count. Also if we're doing SW too I've always wanted a nice reef community, and also love lionfish (kind of the Oscar of SW? ;))

Edit: oh also FW angelfish! Maybe discus too...
