    I think lots of cichlids look pretty good, as well as killifish and certain strains of livebearers... but you're right, marines do seem to have this 'colour' thing over us freshies :p

    But more of them get really HUGE and can't actually be kept in an aquarium.

    One would think in a world where everything wants to eat you, you would like to be less obvious.
