What is the most colorful or beautiful large freshwater fish?

[johnson5585]

Ok, So I thought I would start this thread to see what everyone thinks. Post pics to show your beauties. I am looking for another tank project. I am looking for Larger, colorful, freshwater fish. I have o's a terror and a turquoise severm in the way of large fish. want something that my wife is going to ooooh and awwwww over like I do with my o's. She thinks they are ugly I was thinking a flowerhorn or something similar. What do you all think and lets see some pics.

P.S. this will have it's own tank and is not going in with any of the above. So compatibility is not an issue.

Arros are cool, weather she will like them or not is something completely different

I'd agree with the puffers, the more colourful ones (fahaka, mbu etc.). A well coloured datnoid is always a good thing. Large colourful cichlids are probably going to be a good bet too.
