My favorite is the red snapper, looks great when you catch it at sunset!

Second best I think is the ray.
 
I really like the whale shark! It's my favourite shark of the sharks on ac. I one time put three whale sharks in a room because I was obsessed Dx
 
The zebra turkey fish
Why the name it's perfect and because it's the "lion fish" where I live we call it like that but it's very poisoning
And also I just like anything that has zebra

Next to that it's the soft shelled turtle
I love turtles
 
I love the Arapaima. The first time I saw one in real life at an aquarium here, I instantly told all my friends it was the "Animal Crossing" fish :P Didn't even have to look at the placard to know what it was

This photo doesn't even do it justice, it's HUGE in real life!!
 
I agree with sea butterfly. When you pull one up at night, you can see that they glow in the dark a little bit.

All the fish in the game are really nicely designed though. I love the attention to details c:
 
I can't choose one favorite :U I really like the coelacanth, sea butterfly, and football fish. They all look really good.
 
I think the football fish is seriously funny and it looks so great when it's glowing.

I absolutely love that there's a lamp version of it. :D

The coelacanth looks really nice too, and I of course love the dab and olive flounders. Such cute flat fish!
 
Man, you know we're all hungry for a new Animal Crossing when we start talking about the fish designs. (joking) xD

The barred knifejaw looks pretty cool, honestly. I've always liked blue marlins and moray eels, even outside of ACNL.

On the opposite end though, I hate how cherry salmons and chars are just palette swaps, same w/ carps and koi, although they're basically the same species so that can be forgiven. Also sea bass needs to wipe that horrible troll face off it's face.

I love the ray and the coelancanth the most I think. And the turt even if it's not that detailed.
 
I'm not sure about best design in terms of accuracy, since I don't really know what they look like in real life, and, tbh, aquariums and underwater pictures of fish both freak me out. But I really do appreciate the fact that the sea butterfly and goldfish have their own tank, and I think the sharks look pretty cool.
 
My absolute favorite is the piranha - I love the way it tries to attack your character through the glass at the museum XD

It's just got so much personality!

I'm also fond of the frog, football fish, and saw shark.
 
The oarfish, Napoleon fish, football fish, blue marlin, and the pop-eyed goldfish are my favorites.
 
I kinda like the football fish, (or angler fish) they have that creepy ocean look to them :] Wish it'd been more accurate color though, it's a bit too blue and black for my taste
 
Don't know how I forgot, but if we're also counting sea creatures then I absolutely love the horseshoe crab, even though it was a pain in the butt to find.
 
The Ray is def my fav design. I luv that it looks so much like a real one!!! I also luv the sea horse!!!
