that's 100% not the case in my situation as well, they have just never been that interesting to me. my group of neon tetras are amazing to me, as are my geos and angels.
For the most part I've gotten rid of all the fish I had just to say I had. That phase is over already. I have some rare stuff, but just because I want them.

If these don’t change your mind, I guess nothing will

Not the best examples if you're trying to win someone over with malawi, try these:

I will admit most haps look the same to me, almost all of them are blue and have that generic "fish" shape with some slight variations to body height/length and head/mouth shape. Victorian haps are even worse. However, copadichromis and the jake type peacocks stand out a bit more to me, just because I have a sweet spot for long streamers and ventrals.

But to answer the original question, I hate the entire gambusia genus, cornish jack mormyrids, and blue whale cats. I also fear aba aba knives, not in the sense that I wouldn't want to be in a room with one, but the fact that one can (and probably would) fly out of the tank to take a chunk out of your hands/face.

Peacocks and mbuna have that generic shape that he was talking about, I love them but I was showing the diversity of haps, especially large predator haps. Those are as cool as any fish and they get big

Aulonocara walteri, pseudotropheus williamsi, stigmatochromis melanchroes, buccochromis atritaeniatus, metriaclima fainzilberi "mcat" (I don't remember the exact locale), aulonocara stuartgranti "mdoka", and metriaclima sp. msobo

what type of Africans are interested in? I don’t recommend mixing haps/peacocks with mbuna if you’re new to them or mixing lakes if you’re new
