No tank at the moment but kept tiger barbs as a kid as it was fun watching them harass (in a nice way(if thats possible?)) all the other fish. Then I had cichlids as they were as close to marine fish as I could get without a marine setup. They were great as they would move the tank around from day to day and you could build tunnels etc for them to swim through which was highly entertaining at the time. MISS NOT HAVING A TANK!
