I would have to say the marine gafftopsail catfish, Bagre marinus. They grow large, are active, and have those long fins!

Except for my glass cats (with surprising personality), I haven't really kept any catfish that I was glad I bought.

My midnight catfish hides all day and eats small fish at night. My spotted raphael hides all day. My tatia intermedia eats small fish at night and rarely comes out in the day. My first tatia perugiae got velvet and they all died and took out a few other fish as well. My new ones tear up my guppies' fins.

I may be getting a jurenese sometime soon though.
 
Yes Perfect, I have been considering possibly getting one in time when I feel I am ready, and armed with enough knowledge on the subject. I am learning as much as possible before I start my first monster build. I am leaning toward a 75 gal tank.
 
I forgot to say why!

Acanthicus Adonis or even hystrix because:

How I love thee, I can never count the spiky, warmachine, slash-finned ways! I mean, that thing could kill most cichlids.




Doradids for the same, I live the spikiness. And the talking.

Does anyone know where I could get a acanthicus Adonis? I'd really like to start growing one out for when I make the pond bigger......much bigger ;)
 
Ya I do....had to bust my bubble there. Lol. I figure if I ask now I'll find one by the time the ID sharks are in the pond sense I've been wanting one for awhile
