I think flowerhorns will pass soon. Just because it is a newer hybrid, and all new things grow old.

heh, flowerhorn craze is over.

Arowanas have been around for how who knows how many years, so i dont think they will go on the list anytime soon.

imo, i think its either that dats or the pbass.
 
Datnoids and Arowanas have always been staples in large tanks. Their popularity will never waiver. What will , however , are the people who jump on the hype wagon and buy things or fish that they arent particularly interested in , but do so anyways because its "hot" or the "in" thing.
 
i dought south central american cichilds i think that salt water will go down, because people will realize fresh water! YEA

And I don't think any fish will ever lose 'popularity' and if any fish does it won't be Arowanas they have too much culture associated with them and the keeping of them.

For me... It has just begun.

I really haven't noticed any "crazes" besides the Dat one. But I will tell you, the first time I seen dats I wanted them, just becuase of those big eyes.

Agreed. Chinese superstition has a lot to do with the popularity of arows (dragons), dats (tigers), bichirs (dragons), fei feng (phoenix), Distichodus sexfasciatus (barred shelter). I don't see that changing in the near future.
 
personally....
tcn/rtc hybrids, i think they're too much trouble and people will realize how innadaquate they are for aquarium life.
