What is the most difficult fish to keep alive?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
clown Loaches by far for me. Have had the worst time with these guys, usually Ick takes them out.
Mine usually end up as dinner for something else.
Had one eaten by a tiny crayfish and another eaten by a patriot crab.
Since the loaches those two have been unable to eat any other fish...
 
monos i love them but everytime i keep them something happens and they die i have prolly spent hundreds of dollars on them i eventually just gave up on them LOL
 
I have never had a problem with any fish except an elephant nose, it was in a 10 year established tank and died for no reason I could explain.
All other fish strived in there with no Ick or anything, even had a large bgk in there for many years after the elephant nose died...
 
Juvenile Tigs. Like >5"
 
Anything there is little knowledge in the hobby about... I had bad luck with the first aba aba knife I had.. but stuck with it. learned more and more. upset I lost a few fish in the process. but hopefully others can learn from my mistakes and successes as with other keepers.
