If you could only keep one fish what would it be?

No, don’t have a pond big enough+they are endangered, so I think it’s illegal.
yes they are native here and it is illegal to even catch one here but the diamond backs are a cool look a like
Is this close enough to count
Not my pic thank Google

realistically probably RTC or Arow -
unrealistically - sea turtle or dolphin / maybe an orca?

My Current setup:
3 Polypterus Delhezi
1 Polypterus Polli
2 Perophyllum Scalare
4 Aequidens Pulcher Neonblue
1 Pseudacanthicus cf. leopardus (L114)
3 Ancistrus sp. (longfin, different colors)
My Polys are very good-natured...i had never any Problems with socialization. I evene had them Swimming with a blue Xiphophorus maculatus for over a Year. I had this one already 3 Years, when i got my first Polys with 2". I thought he won't get old enough to see my Poly get big enogh to eat him.... When i gut my Aequidens Pulcher (they were abut the same size as the Xiphophorus at this time), he must have thought he is one of them. He swam around with them and acted like them. Even over a Year later he was still alive. Somehow evene the Polys seemed to belive him, when he tried to defend his Territory(Pritty funny, when a 2" Xiphophorus is chasing of a 10" Poly^^). Unfortunately the Xiphophorus died a few months ago by old age. But even the body wasn't eaten by the Polys.
Not realistic, but I think I'd go with something like a ray, or maybe cuttlefish. Neither is available here.
From the fish I've had, Asian Arrowana would be first choice, then jaguar, datnoid, oscar followed by.
My choice would be the snakehead, wish I keep keep them but they’re illegal.. Saw this on youtube though
