If You Were to Have a Race in Your Tank, What Fish Would Win

[revhtree]

Funny thread and something I’ve never thought about.

My Scissortail dartfish is lightning fast. at least for a sprint.

Imagine if you had a fish tank race, it could either be swimming from one end of the tank to the other, or doing laps around the tank. My question is if you hypothetically had a race in your tank where the fish in your tank were the contestants, who would win it.

Chromis

 

[ReefSakes]

In my tank. It would be my fat Zebra tang.

 

[BamaCoastPyrat]

Triggers
Grouper
Hippo Tang
Squirrel fish
Jap. Dragon Eel
Broomtail Wrasse

The Broomtail wrasse wins by a large margin, sucker is really fast!

What size tank is that? What are you using for lighting? I really like the way that looks

 

[AstroMelly]

Hotlips our barnacle blenny. She can teleport.

My Tomato clown(actually cinnamon) when I was asking my lfs to sell that to me. It took 1 hrs and then my fish seller give up and empty the whole tank and at one time he was saying that buy another fish . After that it ran so fast when it got big to bite my hands

Definitely my white tail bristletooth tang. I named the fish “Rarri” because of the red coloration and how fast the fish is

 

[Tanglover1]

My Zebrasoma desjardinii when it beg for food when I forget to give food. Goes up and down so fast. Another was my velvet demsel when I caught it to donate it

 

[paintman]

The fish with the freshest set of tires.

In my tank,
My green bird wrasse. He is glides through the tank like a sleek Lamborghini. Without effort he would be fastest as Far as avoiding rocks and darting in and out of caves.
For a distance race would be between blue throat trigger or my whitetail bristletooth tang.

 

[Dbichler]

Agreed with above my brown bird wrasse is faster than my tangs by a long shot.

I’m positive it would be a threadfin snapper, or my threadfin snapper

Naoko’s Fairy Wrasse and Blue sided Fairy Wrasse put on a speed show every evening when the blues come on.

 

[MECOMI]

My Fiji Christmas Wrasse is an absolute speed demon. When it dives into the sandbed when it gets scared, it does not even register what direction it went and i can be looking right at it...Wild!

 

[ultraArcite]

I always thought my tang would be the fastest but he seems so unmotivated... Meanwhile, my Banggai Cardinal zooms to chase when anyone gets to close to his territory.

 

[AKL1950]

Everyone in the tank chases the 6 Chromis and no one can catch them. They win.

In a sprint… firefish
Distance…. Tomini

 

[reeftivo]

A vote for my Rabbit fish. Mine flicks her tail fin once and is instantly on the other side of the tank. Scares the heck out of the other fish when she does that. Sadly will be relocating her at my LFS since she has outgrown the system already.

 

[NanoJHB]

Definitely my clownfish





The corals, pods and bristleworms won't put up much of a race. Lol clown is my only fish
