What's your most hated fish?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My girlfriend liked blood parrots until I told her what they really were and got her hooked on polys :p
 
The goldfish thing escapes me as well, the fancier they are the less I like them. Celestial may be the worst. I do however love koi ponds and if I ever build a pond it will be a tough choice between natives and koi.

They have heaps of personality. I like the ryukin and ranchus.

Koi are glorious!

I also dislike the 'aggressive' fish thing. I like having simple order in my tanks

They do have lots of personality. My kids love our ryukins because they are so friendly and nibble their fingers.

I do think the bubbly eyes are just weird though. Lol

If you hate any fishes then this hobby it's not for you, if anything wrong made you hate that specific fish species then I'm sure 100% human error which is you don't have knowledge to house it or you just ignore advises or taking risk and mixed them up, tank too small...etc and got bad result, it's just my 2 cents.

I would say hate is a strong word. There's just some fish I wouldn't keep really, so many others to try
 
This has turned into a "knock goldies/parrots/SBs" thread. I love 'em all. The only fish I don't like are characins. They are finnicky about ph, nippy and boring. I have to admit SDs are great, though. I had some years ago and they are on my list of best fish I have owned. I am sure if I had an easy way of getting my ph below 7 I woud like characins, though.

On the flip side one of my favourite fish is the African glass catfish. Busy and small

I agree. I had 5 for a while. Great fish, still my father's all-time favorite, but they have become very scarce and expensive since I have last had them.
Catfish do hide and do try to eat their tankmates, but if you can't sleep at 3 am, going downsairs and watching a big catfish work his way around all the sleeping fish = heaven. my channelcat was my 2nd favorite fish of all time, after my 11" common goldfish. "Find the pleco" is always a fun game ;)
I also hated a giant danio I had once. Stupid thing insisted on swimming back and forth like a pendulum all day and attacking the fins of every other fish in the tank.

Yep, hate and don't like is 2 different world. I'm not aim at anyone I just don't see the thread title fit in for this topic.
