Underrated fish.

[hamato_yoshii]

Ok, this is obviously a relative question because most of the entire planet earth would say that we are overrating all fish, but relative to this site what do you guys think are some of the most underrated fish? my first pick is probably the Hap. Moorii, old school but nice. Provide pics if you can.

My thoughts are... the OSCAR! I hear everyone saying they are TOO common... c'mon. Almost every one of us has one, and I never hear rants about them. I think they are underrated for the same reason nobody wants to be "known" for driving a Geo Metro or something.... Nothing like the Oscar out there.
I would also say Osphronemus goramy.

some people really hate blood parrots. i understand that they would never be able to survive in the wild, but they will never need to survive in the wild anyway. my 4" pair is dominating a male jewel cichlid that is a little bigger than them, a 3" female jewel, a synodontis cat that is like 6 inches, a 3" red tail shark, and a 4"pleco. they are definatly underrated in my opinion.

Pangasius H. Or the common irredescent shark are awesome when they get big. too bad they get to gigantic sizes but to me it is an underrated monster fish .

*Oscars are both over and under rated depending on the kind of fishkeeper you're talking to.
*Goldfish, especially the larger strains.
*North American native fishes are VERY underrated

Convicts imo are very under rated. they have the personality of an oscar.
they have a very nice color and they are very smart and protective to their young too. Its just that theyre cheap so not too much pay attention to them or gives them the tank and care one would have given to a much expensive fish.

from the 5 gallon,I gave them my 20gallon piranha growout tank and I absolutely love them than the overrated piranhas!!!

So true the Oscar seems to take a lot crap, but honestly if they were rare I think a lot of MFKers would be drooling over them
