After being in the hobby for some years i've seen some fads come and go just wondering what you all may have kept that was must have at the time but didnt live up to the hype. Can be species, set up or whatever

African Cichlids

They are colorful but they have nothing in the way of personality compared to SA or CA cichlids.

Painted or dyed fish...

Heart fish, tattooed fish.
Most blood parrots, I always feel sorry for them when I see them @ any LFS/LPS It's not their fault they looked all jacked up.
They're like those mutants from the movie "The Hills have eyes".

I would say Dovii, not because there's anything wrong with them but every new commer wants one and most can't house them long term. They have become almost cliche.
