only list the fish that you have kept or currently keeping only guys and gals.

my bane is GT, gold or white or in between always started off good and ended up having a white stringy poo:irked: lost of appetite, outgrew by all of his tank mates and finally served on a dinner plate:WHOA: by their own tank mates.

to date i had tried on 7 different fish and managed to save 2 of them only to be killed in my mate's tank when i went OS:cry:

I don't think most of the bigger CA cichlids are hard to keep at all personally. But I have had trouble with clown loaches before, they are the first to get sick from my experience. Smaller ones always being harder to keep alive than the larger ones.
 
EBJD's. They always die out of nowhere.
 
I have been very unsuccessful with hogchokers, but when it comes to just Neotropical cichlids, I'd say I have had no luck with satanoperca

i haven't had any problems with keeping cichlids alive, knock on wood. i did have a juvinile brasiliensis die a day after being in the tank
