I really don't like dead fish. They're not very responsive and tend to have bad coloration. And good luck getting them to take pellets...
Fish That Don't Interest You

Hmmm...interesting question.
For me it would have to be (in order):
Zebra Danios
Neons especially, those glo in the dark teenie tiny pink ones
Gromammies (that's gourami to the unknowing).
Platys
Tuxedo Swordtails
Bubble Mollies (they remind me of that joke "What's the last thing that goes through a bug's mind when he hits the windshield?")
Lionheaded goldfish and the ones with bubble cheeks and two sets of tails, all other goldfish make good feeders.
Drab colored African Cichlids
But to balance that list the fish I like are:
Aros, Silvers or Blacks
Weird looking catfish
Jack Dempseys (thinking of getting some electric blues)
Birchers
If I think of anything else, I'll include it later

chefjamesscott;3044290; said:well the adage of another persons trash being another persons treasure comes to mind
personally I try to keep my personal likes or dislikes to myself since other peoples tanks are their tanks and I would rather encourage people with a passion for fish keeping regardless of whether I like their choice of fish or not
imho
for example I HATE GOLDFISH but take a look at this photo
now forget that she is my daughter and just look at her as a fish keeper who has gotten their very first fish that is all their own, who am I to downplay it with my thoughts of this fish
I think to downplay other peoples fish and tanks does a great diservice to the hobby and could very well discourage people and make them drop from the hobby.
That's a great post!
As for me, I'm not into any hybrids or heavily line bred fish. That said, a well layed out tank can make any fish interesting IMO!
