Least Favorite Fish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Why so much hatred towards Os? I love em. Sure they're common and are played up by novice keepers, but they have more personality than most dogs I've known.
Anyhow I'd have to say my least favorites are FH (hideous and hideously expensive) and all the ridiculous variants of goldfish.

Fish on display, although somewhat educational and entertaining, are never as interesting nor interactive as when they are in their natural settings. That being said, what bothers me most are the inconsistent variations in the habitat relationships promoted and propagated by irresponsible fish/pet store employees upon their unsuspecting customers. Misinformation is probably the greatest offence against any fish. If studied properly each and every fish is beautiful in their natural environment, but the constant mutilations, selective breedings and manipulations to increase the selling price ruins the enjoyment of our Hobby. It is incredibly difficult to create a natural environment in which to study and enjoy each of our fish in their natural habitat, but the closer we come to achieving this goal the more we will enjoy the true purpose and plan for each of these species. Tank size is rarely ever big enough to allow each fish to live as intended, but each of us has a responsibility to be as true to this hobby as possible. Being a good caretaker is far more important in discovering the beauty of any fish than just purchasing what looks beautiful in the store and dumping it in water. You might have a favorite fish, but it is hard to hate a fish. If you have a favorite, treat it as if it is. Give it your best. For most of us, that is exactly what we do. For the unsuspecting, you should educate yourself and not rely only on your salesman for advice. It is your responsibility.

Blood Parrots, Bala sharks, and most of all I hate tinfoils. I had 4 tins and they would all hover right under my oscar and wait for him to crap. When he did crap they would actually try and suck it out or even fight for it...:barf:

O LOLOLOL MY tinfoil barbs did the exact same thing. It started out as one accidently eating a chunk of oscar poo, but he acquired a taste for it and the others mimicked it's behavoir and then they all started biting my poor O's butt when he started pooping. Eventually JIMMY the oscar pooped on the ground behind plants and then frantically dashed away. But I don't hate tinfoils. On the contrary, they are beautiful, big, peaceful and interesting for the first lil while. I don't really hate any fish much...

except stupid gobies. They are ugly and sit there until someone comes and then they teleport a few inches and sit there again. I observed some in the wild and they were a yawn fest.

and african cichlids... except hornet tilapia and those moori ones. They are overrated and have homely heads with fat lips and tall foreheads. Aggressive and intolerant of plants and inverts. I saw a baby frontosa torn to the bone by it's tankmates. OH YAY it's blue and this one is orange!


ANYWAYS, cyprinids are my favourite group. I love watching a shoal cruise around and their faces are the cutest out of all the fishes. Also they swim faster than most other fishes... most of them anyways. Many have their own personalities to some extent, for instance one of my barbs jumps all the time and another likes to forage off on his own under rocks and stuff... Anyways, for the most part it is the group that has the certain personality, as they try to learn from one another in order to be more successful. My barbs used to hang out with my oscar and beg for food with him. Now that the oscar is gone they don't get as excited over food...

I don't see how anyone can hate goldfish. Not only are they friendly, peaceful and hardy, they are beautiful in their own respect. The only thing I don't like is the fact that they are always munching on the roots of plants and digging up soil. ..and That loserrrrr who shredded a baby oranda I will hate for eternity. I cannot believe they got the refund. WHO bumped this anyways?


OH HEY I just remembered that I also hate bettas. I HEAR ABOUT NEMOS ALL THE TIME whenever I go to the LFS I hear the name NEMO at least once. I hear it also 4x more than I hear the name clownfish. Some people think zebra mbunas are "nemos" or albino tiger barbs... etc.
 
i HATE with a passion fancytailed oscars

angelfish hate me everyone ive tried to keep has died, i had one for about 6months tho, till it went missing

i dont really like mbuna, i think theyre personality-less but they are pretty

pacus, i want one but theyre f$@*ing stupid as anything

my piranhas are cool but theyre skiddish and boring

i think gulper cats are ugly

since being on here i have developed a random hatred toward tiny fish like dianos its really random

not a huge fan of tiger barbs but they're ok

i like firemouths in general but i dont like mine he's a b*$%h to all my other fish and hides all day

i dont like bluegills, they were boring too

well that's 10
