My overall favorite fish would be asian arowanas. They are just beautiful creatures to have, especially the crossbacks.

Surprising as this may be to some, my overall favorite group of fish is catfish.
My five specific favorite fish are, in order:
GATF- A large, charismatic beautiful fish. Very little has the shock and awe factor of a big GATF.
Blue catfish, Ictalurus furcatus. This is a big, active, beautifully colored NA native thats as active as an iridescent shark, has the jaws of a Jau and the temperament of a RTC. Can't beat it as a wet pet!
Goonch cats. A catfish with the teeth of a shark. Need I say more? lol
Juruense cat: IMO, the most beautiful of the South American pims.
Black arowana: I've loved these since I saw them on TV when I was about 13 years old. I think they're stunningly beautiful.
Incidentally, these are all my fish and the only one I don't currently have is the blue cat.
That is a VERY difficult species to come by!

That is a VERY difficult species to come by!In the following order..
1 :Sturgeon. No other fish is so impressive and majestic.
2 :Morays. Absolutely fantastic and intimidating.
3. Cyprinids. Awesome scales, body shapes, and pure diversity. From voracious predators to gentle giants.
I already own lots of Cyprinids and will soon have a sturgeon! Gonna be a while before I get me some morays though.

My favorite type of fish (in terms of lifestyle) are ambush predators - particularly benthic and sedentary ambush predators. This is because they often have interestic features and behavior, like chaca chacas, toadfish, anglerfish, and morays. I'm also a fan of the pike family, which are ambush predators as well.
My favorite families of fish are catfish and eels. Catfish because I like bottom dwellers and fish with big mouths and fat bellies, plus I like the whiskers. Eels because they are so unusual and... awesome.

Mine would have to be gourami. Always some in one tank or another, favorite of the bunch would have to be the snakeskin though
