I listed a bunch of really awesome fish on the list the other day.

Beani cichlids -- often a "Holy Grail" species for many aquarists, you never see these slow growing cichlids.
Tenellus leporhinus -- the so-called "mouse cat," these guys are a relatively small (3-4"), peaceful catfish that looks a bit more like a stereotypical catfish than, say, a Corydoras. Kind of a bigger Cory analogue in the aquarium.
Thickhead Chub (Opsariichthys pachycephalus) -- These are REALLY cool. Chubs are well known as a fish around here, but there are also Eurasian species. This is one from Southeast Asia. They're a definite "ugly duckling;" I would use them for feeders at this point, but then you'd miss out on how gorgeous they turn once they're adults (about 5-6"). They make nests out of pebbles. Technically subtropical, they'll do great outside, possibly overwinter (kind of like white clouds), but will also be okay in a standard tank.
Wabbit Snails -- I've got a nice bunch of these really awesome, bottom dwelling, scavenging snails.
Endlicheri bichir -- One of the less common, but super pretty, bichirs.
Brown Ghost Knife (x3) -- Less contrast than a black ghost, they're also about half the size, and will do okay in a small group (though you might get some aggression if you don't have enough hidey holes).
Dolphin Mormyrid -- These guys are rarely seen! Awesome, big, bulky mormyrid. Not overly aggressive. Will eat small fish, shrimp, blackworms, frozen, pellets, etc. Probably shouldn't be kept with other mormyrids, but still a very cool fish. Mine are relatively outgoing.
JBO Texas Cichlid -- I'm debating on if I'll bring this guy or not. . . He's absolutely gorgeous, probably show quality plus, but ... he's a texas cichlid. :)
Basketmouth Cichlids -- While basketmouths typically refer to members of the genus Caqueta, there are two other genera. Chaetobranchus and Chaetobranchopsis . They're filter feeders in the wild, but will grudingly eat regular foods. Some madman is breeding them, and I've got these supposed F1s. They eat everything. Not particularly aggressive, but also ugly. Seriously cool fish that you keep because they're cool and you'll probably never see them again. :)
