Everyone always want to know what your favourite fish is. I'd be interested to know which fish(es) people have had that they did NOT like, and why. It may help when people are thinking about stocking their tank.

Mine would have to be Silver Dollars, mine were just so scared of everything, and stressed out whole tanks that they were tried in

Jack dempsey for sure. I loved my silver dollars. Everybody seems to have alot of problems with them though. JD was the biggest disapointment of a fish anybody could ever waste money on. They are very skidish and I just hate mine.

Mollies,

I want them to be food factories for my fish, but those stupid Mollies can't put out!

Banded leporinus, thought that he would be OK in my community tank with barbs, apollo sharks, calceus and clown loaches. He has turned out to be the tank bully now that he is almost full grown. Even picks on a calceus that is a good bit bigger than he is. If anyone lives in the phoenix metro area and wants a 7-8" banded leporinus send me a PM ;) He will be going to the LFS soon otherwise.

anything died/tattood or physically altered (cut tails)
(I know its not the fishes fault, but I dont like them)

I've got some other fish that I've had bad experiences with, but they were impulse buys and not the fishes fault.
