Fish You Will Never Buy Again.

[Ethos]

I prolly wouldn't get cories again.
I have 2, but unless I gte some large community tank, I'm not going to get some anymore//

common plecos, too big and to me, not nice looking, oh and any dyed fish.

Since I just got into the hobby last December, I haven't owned that many different species but I will say that it is very doubtful that I would buy any more otos. From my experience, they die for no reason and don't seem to eat algae much at all after the first couple weeks.

I have never owned CAEs but do know that I wouldn't ever buy them either.

I'll never by another angelfish again; terratorial, ugly and overpriced.

 

[catxx]

i wouldn't buy any more bristlenose cats after i got sold three babies that were too tiny and died and made me sad

i wouldn't buy an ugly fish, because i'm a girl and i need things to be pretty.

I will never buy piranhas again. Thinking about their teeth still gives me the creeps.

 

[basia]

I won't be buying Panda Cories again, not because I don't like them - I just can't keep them alive.

 

[Naughtygirlrlw]

Any kind of livebearer, I don't want any beebees!

Actually, angels aren't terribly expensive at all unless you're getting live caught (Altums at $50 and up). I paid $4.95 for mine. They really aren't aggressive at all although they do occasionally chase each other. They never bother my other fish. And I think they are some of the prettiest of freshwater fish. But then this is all a matter of opinion.

Fish I have bought and will never buy again? Only one really springs to mind, Batrochoglanis raninus (common name of Bumblebee Catfish). Not that he wasn't a stunning little fish. He just grew VERY quickly (3 inches in the first month I had him) and soon after that, ate anything that fit in his mouth (which ended up being a number of my fish). I completely expected that to happen, just thought the other fish were big enough he wouldn't bother them yet. He was a "rescue" or sorts (the shop where I found him often gets "mystery fish" in with shipments, fish they didnt' order and aren't sure what they are, though I recognized him right away, figured I'd give him a better home than some poor unsuspecting kid). I found some monster keepers to give him a right proper home after that, but I enjoyed him while I had him. Now, maybe if I were to somehow be able to afford a very large tank and large tankmates, I might reconsider, as he was a truly interesting fish to watch.

Guppies, so boring!

 

[WILDER]

Guppys are not boring just always ill, i always thought they were very active fish when i kept them.

Dragon Goby. An amazingly awesome fish that I was given the wrong advice for. I was told it was an aggrissive predator and I'd have trouble making sure my pther fish got food with it in my tank.

Turns out it is a gentle, shy fish that should be kept on it's own. It died and I felt terrible.

Gah bad advice
