Fish that you just never seem to have any luck with

[AU_Arowana-RG]

The thread says it all. If you have any experience with fish species/group wherein that no matter what you do, they always never make it, post it here.

I'll start: I've never had any luck with Goldfish. My mom also seems to have not had any luck with Golfish as well. I mean, the deaths of my mom's and my Silver Aros were already diagnosed to be due to feeding them day-old sashimi, but most of the Goldfish we've had died for no apparent reason.

clown loaches...they always end up eaten in my tanks.

Well when I was about 6 we used to have goldfish, and we named several Elvis, and all the ones we named Elvis always seemed to die. So if you get goldfish, never call them Elvis.

Jurupari, but my latest group (5 from snookn21) is going on 3 months and doing great so knock on wood.

Jardini aro. I have had 3 and all died in a few months or less. Have kept silvers for years with no problems. Maybe not meant to be.

Blue rams; they always get really dark, start to look like zombie fish, and die with-in three weeks. Discus too.
