The Ultimate Fish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Actually the montery bay successful kept a great white for at least a year I believe (after several failed attempts, of course) they only released it because it was growing too large and aggressive.

Personally - I think of vampire tetras when i think of challenging fish to keep.
 
how about the African Arowana? i hear they are very tough to keep.
 
Has anyone ever kept angler fish? Most of the time they are deep water fish so recreating the pressure would be a bit tricky. I know there are many different types but the kind I am thinking of I believe is called the Humpback Angler. Those teeth look vicious.

I don't really think "the bigger the fish, the harder it is to keep". Since from what I've seen, it's just the TANK thats hard to get, and keep. The fish themselves are pretty easy when you got it in the tank, and the filters and everything are doing fine.

So granted, the bigger the fish, the tougher the maintanence, but the fish themselves aren't hard to keep. However, I do agree that keeping a Pima or Sturgeon, or Paddlefish in captivity is the "pinnacle" and the apex of fish keeping. It's the highest thing. But there's also little beats that are just ridiculous. No one has ever kept a Candiru that I know of. Some kind of Tetras are just ludicris and make me want to shake them after they died. I find myself admiring people who can keep Cardinal tetras alive, same goes for Tiger Barbs. Shortly after I wanted them all to die, they did.
