Knife fish, no second thought about it, lol.
Just great fish to observe. Everything from their swimming behavior to the reaction to different tank mates or food, and the list goes on.
Community fish, large predator fish, many different colors and patterns, etc. A little something for everyone, lol.

At the moment, I am liking wild bettas and small gouramis. They have an amazing curiosity, but do not become completely domesticated to the point they ram their faces into the glass when they see you or food. They also have interesting behavior. My Betta channoides just spawned over a week ago and the male is still holding the fry in his mouth until they are large enough to fend for themselves.
I also enjoy licorice and chocolate gouramis. And am dying to see a climbing perch.
I like certain spiney eels as well. Mastacembelus cryptacanthus also has a very curious yet reserved nature, but in general anabantoids are my current favorite.

Where do you get them? I have been trying to get them for so long but can't find anyone to sell them
(i have NO clue how to catch them fishing, so that's not an option either )
No family has the most consistent array of sass, spikiness, gluttony, longevity and hardiness as the catfish. The more I study nature as a whole the clearer it is to me that nothing has met the wiles of her torrents like the catfish. The speciation, the opportunistic way of life, the blending of all predatory and camoflage traits...there's just nothing like them. Amblydoras Nauticus and Banjo cats have learned to drift like leaves to the point where you and I can pick them up and put them back down without them so much as flexing a muscle. Platydoras break out the heavy artillery and armor, slashing with their pectoral fins while flanked on their bony sides with the teeth of a saw blade. Acanthucus adonis mutilates any intruders with a thrust of its pectoral clubs adorned in thorns of indignant rage. And when the dust settles, each character has returned to its niche and you never know what hit you.
