Anyone else have a particular fish they can't keep?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Buffalo heads.... I have tried 3 of them, all on different occasions. None of them lived long at all. Maybe a month or two but that was it. Nothing else in the tank ever had any issues or problems either. I just can not keep them.:barf:
 
plecostomus they keep getting killed by my oscar
 
black pacu, i have had a single one die, and a pair, all were around 18". my red belly is doing great though 12-13" and i got it at 1". im picking up a 13" red tomorrow hoping it is only the blacks that i have problems with.


as for wishlist that i just cant keep YET. arapaima gigas, asain aro, channa.
edit. also cant keep a mystus wickii due to lack of a free empty tank.
 
An mbu puffer fish because of my ray, it will bite the disc and a huge royal pleac, cactus plec or adonis for the same reason (it will suck on my ray)
 
shiners, i've tried about six different times to keep them to breed. next day the entire room smells like a fish market..
