Who’s your most forgettable fish?

[Deadeye]

We all have that one fish that you never really think about, and sometimes even forget was in the tank in the first place. It’s time to let them shine!
For me, it’s my striped Raphael. He comes out very often, and hides in a visible space, but every time I see him I go “Oh, right! I have a catfish in there!” The tank wouldn’t be complete without the extra cleaner in there, plus he is quite fun to watch!
So which fish do you always forget is in there? Would the tank be the same without it?

For me it’s my 10 year old upside down catfish. He may have been one of my first fish ever, but he’s a trooper(survived disease outbreaks, fungal infection from a pleco, loss of territory, and moved in many tanks). Despite all of this, sometimes I forget I have him as he will sometimes hide in driftwood for months, only reason why I know he’s still alive is now he’ll come out to eat now a days. The tank wouldn’t be the same without him because he and a bunch of catfish and cichlids, fight over the same piece of driftwood when I have 5 pieces+caves in there lol.

Mines would be my albino cory. He blends in with everything else so unless you focus on trying to find him, you would only think I have 2 corys.

black mbuna. He blends in with the background lol

L114 Sternella that only comes out when I mess with his driftwood. I've had him for eleven years and he's gone from two inches to ten, but that bastard won't come out of hiding unless it's an act of god.

L183 pleco. I only see it if I move the drift wood in the pond. Every time I think " oh yeah forgot about you!". It's a male super aggressive to other plecos but shares the drift wood with half of my polys and 4 synodontis. I don't see many of them often mostly at feeding time, but not the pleco.

Look close, he is there,lol. My arrowhead puffer buries himself until feeding time.

Looks cool when it decides to come ‘topside’... which it rarely does

I have 2 Banjo catfish that will occasionally appear once a month. They feel secure burrowing in the sand substrate.

I have, or at least *had* a very tiny green phantom pleco, about 3”, I would straight up forget he’s in the tank then once or twice a month I’d find him. I’m not sure what tank I moved him to but I don’t know where he is or even if he’s alive at this point.

My other invisible fish, bought as a Raphael cat but is a Orinocodoras eigenmanni

When it does pop out, it is a really cool looking cat
