well, i think i would want fishes to always be active in side the tank...it would be interesting to see fishes shoot from one side to the other....what kind of fishes are always active? are there such kind?

Wow! There are so many different fish that are always active that it's hard to know where to begin. Tangs are always active but you really have to consider the size of the tank before you can consider keeping a tang.

Personally, I like the fairy wrasses (Cirrhilabrus spp.) a lot. They're very active and they can be kept in tanks that are a lot smaller than what tangs would require. And the fairy wrasses are all gorgeous fish! Their major drawback is that they are all jumpers.

They are more delicate than others but dwarf angels are alsy very nice fish; such as the Coral Beauty or the Flame Angel.

cherub or flameback angel
orchid dottyback
royal gramma
six line wrase
they won't shoot from one side of the tank to the other but they will swim all over the tank.
