    I thought this would be a good topic.
    what is your favorite fish and why?
    Mine would have to be my purple tang. I have named her after my Grandmother whos name was Violet. This fish is so tame. It will eat right out of my fingers and nibbles at my fingers to get at the food. I can touch the sides of her and I think if i tried I would be able to catch and lift this fish out of the water with my palm.
    What do you like about your favorite fish?

    This is very hard, I love the Emperor Angel and Hippo Tang due to color of the Emperor and the hippo just for being mostly blue.
    I am starting to like the Yellow Tailed Angel alot as well also due to the color.

    Really I like all my fish for one reason or another.

    My favorite is my Sailfin Tang. He's fun to watch darting in and out of the rocks, turning on his side to go through rocks. And when I put my finger on the glass, he poofs his fins out.

    I bought my purple tang probably over a year or so ago. I got her from lazylivin. I think my tank is her third home kindof like an orphan fish. I had another purple tang several years ago and it also was tame.

    I acquired this little guy from Dodd a few years back. He has a lot of personality coupled with attitude. My first fish in the 30g.
