  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Longear sunfish or pumpkinseed sunfish

Sent from my SCH-R830C using MonsterAquariaNetwork App
 
most coloration: rainbow darter
most aggressive feeder: pike or musky
most unique look: sturgeon or burbot
most easy to breed: sunfish (most species you can breed in a rain barrel)
most scientific study: stickleback
most rare: hells hole pupfish

Just a few ideas of mine. Most awesome is a tough category. I'd say one of my favorite to keep are green sunfish, they get very personable and easy to keep. However, they are hardly unique. Their ubiquitous nature seems to make them less appealing for some reason.
 
most awesome?
All the esox species.

the runner up would be the perch (yellow perch, walleye, sauger)

then the gars.
 
Most awesome fish would be tiger trout. Most beautiful fish would be Red striped longear sunfish.
 
Most beautiful: Fine-Scaled Saddled Darter (Etheostoma osburni)

Most awesome: Blue Catfish (Ictalurus furcatus)
