Most Disappointing Fish?

Luckily, my Dwarf Gourami came from Petsmart and has been my hardiest fish as of yet.

You got lucky then. They are great fish & they were once considered one of the hardiest fish you could get. Unfortunately they've been overbred & their immune systems aren't what they once were. That combined with the Dwarf Gourami Disease having no cure or way of preventing make it tough to find a healthy one.

Exactly. From all the research I've done, no amount of cleaning tanks will do anything to thwart it. It just makes me sad because they're such great fish.

I got one from Petsmart a year ago and he's fine too. Maybe they have a good supplier.

Well, did you test if they will still get it if you've had them in a separate tank for 1-2 months and then moved it to the said infected tank (that has been cleaned thoroughly)?
I doubt anything can resist that amount of heat and bleach and no host for a long time. It would probably live on Mars if taken there...

sTUPID DANIOS!!!!

Couldn't disagree more with this. I have 4 gold specimens of Danio Rerio and they are the most personality filled fish I've ever owned My Dwarf Gourmai is fairly boring and Neons are also nothing special.

 

[Fishy friend2]

Gosh. Mine are like little monsters. They tear up my tank and mess with all of my fish. The only fish that have been able to withstand this is another danio

I think I may have just gotten lucky - my Danios don't really conform to the stereotype and I certainly wouldn't have any more that weren't in a species tank since that is just chancing fate a bit.

I had a Jewel Cichlid once, and she was a stunner. Great fish with all sorts of personality. Probably my favorite fish in the world (minus my Green Terrors) I loved that fish, but man, she was dissapointing. I couldnt keep her with anything. She would demolish any fish that came near her. She killed a Vieja and badly injured another.

So that would be my most disapointing fish. Great fish though, just liked to eat everyone.

Honestly, i hate Zebra danios. I like others.

I agree. I've also heard that other fish from infected tanks can introduce the virus to your tank when you add them, even though they themselves aren't affected they can still be carriers. I believe this is how my prized Powder Blue Dwarf eventually came down with it when I added a Bristlenose Pleco and a Mystery Snail to the tank.

Sadlyive also lost two dwarf gouramis too it.

Pakistani loaches for me. They hide in the bamboo until dinner and go straight back afterwards
