What fish do you think is the most beautiful of all?
 

I was wondering this all last night and I think that the best looking freshwater fish would be the ram cichlids.
But what is your favorite. Since I am fairly new to fish keeping and I dont know that many types of fish I want to see what other fish there that in your guys opinion is the most beautiful?

Wow, that's a tricky one. I love so many. But if I had to choose it would be my Geophagus Surinamensis ( spelling may not be great!), he/she is stunning.

Black ruby barb !!!!! the best looking wise and attitude wise :P

I love the way that barb looks, never seen one before yet so pretty.

I think the most beautiful freshwater fish are these little guys called darters that are found in coldwater streams around the US. And probably the best of those guys would be the candy darter, rainbow darter, tangerine darter, and redfin darter. Most people don't even know they exist because they're not found in the aquarium trade.
