Hi Everyone,

I was just wondering what you guys thought was the coolest fish that you could keep.

The type of fish that you hear someone has and you go "wow, I wish I had one" or just, "wow thats cool".

Maybe its a rare fish, a beautiful fish, a large fish, whatever you like.

I'll start by saying I think the coolest fish that I know someone keeps are Arapaima. Truly amazing fish.

The coolest fish I own and the coolest fish I have room for is my Gulper Cat.

Sorry if their is another thread(s) like this.
 
Hands down nothing can beat an aro/ray combo IMO!

Ive also always had lots of admiration for anybody who can keep an archer tank with hanging overbranches for the fish to shoot bugs down!
 
Sawfish. There is a thread somewhere about someone who had one in a ray pond. that, or an angler fish lol.
 
aro+ray or datnoid+monster clown loach shoal
 
although I think owning a paddlefish would be AWESOME. Maybe even a chinese paddlefish? Or a pima! Or a fullgrown WALLAGU ATTU!!! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH, TOO MANY AWESOME FISH TO CHOOSE FROM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Thanks for all the replies, some very cool fish and combos there.
Gotta say though that if I knew someone with a true barca snakehead they would probably be my new hero!
 
school of saltwater barracuda in a huge mini swimming pool setup
now that is something great
 
a gigas, or full grown ck
 
Just looked up that article on the freshwater sawfish and WOW, thats the very definition of what I'm talking about. I don't think you can keep anything more amazing than that in freshwater.
Crazy size though, and Cites 1.
