Common Freshwater Fish to Avoid in Home Aquaria

Keeping it going! Your article was good! And add the pictures of their ADULT size! That will make anyone rethinking to buy these juvies from LFS.
Clown loach
Redtailed Blue loach
Angelfish (tall fish)
Needlefish
Featherfin/Lace catfish
Sun catfish
Spiny eel
Pictus catfish (even they reached only 6 inch long, its their behavior)
Chinese algae eater (I love when the lfs failed to mentioned that they will get 7 inch long and stop eat the algae)
Its rare to see adult fish in the lfs for sale. Walmart, Petsmart and Petco usually sell the juvies of any monster fish species. And all of they failed to mentioned that these juvies will become too big or too aggressive.
This article will help the newbies.

Yeah, it's going to be like a continuous thread, always being improved.
Thanks for reading!
The Chinese algae eater, yes. They resort to mucous membrane of the fish for protein source. They're not a good choice for community setups especially those involving flat disc shaped fish such as discus. They're best kept with the nasty loaches who can handle them effectively and then feisty tankmates such as filament barbs.lordofthejewsjr;2380637; said:wait, the algae eater stops eating algae? nooooooooooooo

Yes.
Thank you Lupin.
I'll have more up tonight everyone.
CAE are very cheap as juvies, but their aggressive are unbelievely. Best tankmates are danios, small tetras, small livebearers (endlers, wild guppies etc) and any small schooling fish thats fast.
