I will save

Ok so if tomorrow we had to leave planet earth and start somewhere else what is the one single species of fish you would save?

Any fish even if its blacklisted in South Africa, remember this is a new planet so no list apply.

For me it would have to be Panda Cories.

Easy... Hypseleotris compressa (my Avatar fish)... Gorgeous,fascinating mating behaviour and good colours...Can also tollerate a temp range from 5 - 38 degrees + fluctuations in salinity and pH... Dont know what type of planet I might land on....lol

PS: Cool thread start Gerhard - cant wait to see what the rest come up with...

 

Haha good question!! Mine would have to be rams!!

 

Yeah my cories will like them so its cool.

Thank goodness, I hoped someone would say that.

 

Funny how all 3 of us chose smallish fish so far... If i was thinking in a survivalist mode though... Carp or Tillapia as food fish,but hey,if we are able to make it to the stars - food will be the last of our worries!

 

O I forgot this would be pretty much paradise, just add fish

 

Then I totaly stick with my Empire Gudgeons.... but your Cory's better watch out when they are in breeding mode...lol

 

Pterophyllum altum aka. The altum angel

 

Can we take a plant species along as well? @Vis... Hey,if I can keep my Gobies going,I should be able to propagate the Madagascan Lace(Aponogeton madagascariensis) plant as well... Well I used to in the past anyway....

 

My vote for Bettas! - all of them.

 

Guppies! What would fish keeping be like without these little ones!

 

Mudskippers! . . . .just in case there is a shortage of water . . . .

 

Now this will sound crazy but the good old "stokvis" found in oceans.It has been overfished and consequently are heavily thretened.
p.s. All you get now in the Cafe is Hake and Chips.(Anyone still remember Stokvis?)

 

I would have to save the Clown Knife Fish... have to bring some big fish along....

 

I would take any breeding pair Dwarf cichlid.

Stokvis. Went fishing once for those.....long time ago and got very very ill.

 

Me to @Zoom.

 

Apistogramma Borelli and/or Ap. Agassizii 'Tefe Bauana'.

If I had room for one more (even if I had to smuggle it in a Thermos flask) would be the Peruvian Emporer Tetra!

G!

 

Clown loaches, lots of them
