I would say this koi looks pretty cool..

Nice! Looks like a Beni Kikokuryu. For top viewing (in order of best view), I'd say:

1) Koi
2) Rays
2) Aros
3) Catfish
4) Cichlids
5) etc, etc
 
Here's my babies, what has a better top view than koi??

Listen, will you lot PLEASE stop putting up pics of such nice koi...or I'm gonna have to get some and YOU can explain that to my wife!

I think its just a matter of getting use to the angle, if youve only had tanks before... I'm starting to really like my pond. Its only shallow though, so you can see the bottom very clearly... My daughter says tanks are crap because you cant paddle in them!!! Who can fault that logic?

:ROFL::ROFL: Ok, just one more! This was my pride and joy. This monster Sanke died when we had a pump failure last summer. Happened on a very hot night and fish no oxygen RIP :cry:

thats sad, hes a beautiful fish...
 
nice koi!:D

in my opinion, most fish look cool from above and from the side - i would just avoid ones without color on their top half, and they may not even be visible. I have kept african cichlids in my outdoor pond for the summer, and they look cool from above, as do convict cichlids (kept them in the pond too).
 
megalodoras look pretty cool from the top.
 
black peter, those guys look great!!!
 
Wow those desoniewhatevers are BEAUTIFUL!!! Are they rift valley cichlids?

Whats a megalodora?
