Biggest Regret Fish

[McPhishy]

I've seen countless threads of regretful purchases and buyer's remorses. How about purchases that you didn't make that you wish you did.

For me, 8 years ago and 3x 3" black arowanas for only $20 each.

BUT my #1 "I wish I had bought it" fish was a ST for only $25 10 years ago. It was stable, wide bars, was labeled as a siamese tigerfish, and was 4-5"+.

Weedy sea dragon was 45$.. I ended up with a pair of "alligator pipefish" instead at 15$ a pop. can't complaine though, They where a great addition to my reef tank at the time.
