Why loaches? Just curious since you didn't give reasoning yet.
There are plenty of fish types that don't interest me enough to devote tank space to them...polypterus, rays, bettas, African rift cichlids are a few that leap to mind...but the fish that I find quite repulsive are the assorted short-bodies and other should-have-been-culled mutations, closely followed by hybrids.
Serious hobbyists are always looking for wild-caught fish of "pure" strains...not just pure species, but actual pure strains from particular collection points. And yet other keepers, often no less serious but with different priorities, are cross-breeding everything they can get their hands on, often just on a lark, creating all these weird mutts that are in such hot demand. This is definitely a "me" problem, unless of course these synthetic critters are then sold back into the hobby to unsuspecting hobbyists that think they are getting something that they are not.

Nothing is really achieved with this, save for poor genetics and suffering, deformed fish.I don't know how I possibly forgot to mention them!
for some reason i only like south american fish
so i dont really like any fish that isnt south american

Cichlid hybrids and cichlids with no pedigree that could be a hybrid.
Common Plecos , bullhead catfish, channel catfish, red tail catfish i have found them to be the most annoying catfish ever people are always rehoming certain fish dumping it on someone else and the cycle continues over and over again. Pacus Oscars

These don't make my list of least favorite fish, but the people you're talking about make my list of worst fishkeepers. I see what you mean.
Just joking lol. Only said it because you seem to love loaches.
As a real answer, any short body or genetically defored fish that reduces QOL.
Right you are! You could say I'm the holotype of Homo sapiens loachaholici (Thoene, 2006)
Just as with jjohnwm, I'm with you on that. Fish like this

Would be better off not existing at all. As put nicely by finchdad (concerning blood parrots):
Arowanas..ugly faces and boring, like watching a pendulum ticking back and forth.
Dovii...porportions always look weird to me. Huge heads and not real appealing shape. Look dopey to me.
Piranahs I don't get at all. Another boring fish. Everything is 'chop chop'.
