What fish would you consider the hardest to keep alive?

I had a problem with fancy guppies...water parameters were great, everything was wonderful, just could not keep those buggers alive for very long.

Everyone seems to have a fish that can't keep. For me it's Green Terrors. They always seem to get the white stringy poo's and waste away. Two close friends of mine have had the same issue. Never could figure out why.

dude me too. i lost a gold and a white saum to this. i later read it could be due to intestinal parasites but none of my other cichlids/fish had this problem

How about all the ppl who come on here and wonder why their puffer or dragon goby die and dont think about the fact that its a brackish water fish

I agree on that but bowfin are not tropical fish.

tropheus Duboisi! I dont see them for sale anymore, probably because of that.

They make madirin gobies and discus seem like plastic plants in terms of care.
