Neon Tetra.
No matter how much I warn people that they are unhardy, they can't keep just 1, they can't live in a bowl, they need a heater, they need to be schooled, they need softer water, they are mass-produced and their immune system is compromised..
The reasons why ignorant people should not buy them is ENDLESS..
YET..
BUT..
For some reason..
Simple human minds..
The human mind is just drawn..
drawn so tightly..
to the shiney Blue and Red colors..
...0ooo0ooo0o0o0000o0oo.. shiney things.
That people would completely ignore all advice and warning I give them, and purchase them anyways.
Only to return them days later.. Wanting a replacement.
But the 'shiney bright colors' seem to inflame ignorance within the human brain. It's simply amazing.
I hate selling them, and now when people purchase them, I don't bother to try to educate unless they wish to seek knowledge, because it simply would not matter.
I would say "You do not want to cycle your tank with Neons, they are very sensitive and need to be in schools to do well.. I guarantee they will die." only to get a reply 10 minutes later.. "I will take 1 Neon and a male guppy."
Atleast a few times a day I have people say "I will take 2 neons, a dwarf frog, and 1 glo-lite.." and I knowingly bag up these pre-determined floaters for the 2.5g mini-bow that Wal-mart sells.
I feel no remorse, whatsoever. Sorry.
(PS. I personally keep and love Neon Tetras.. my school of 30+ looks real nice in a planted tank.

They look so goofy to me. And so many times in a pet shop, I'll get excited from a distance thinking I'm about to see and purchase a huge rhom and its a freakin pacu...

okay my least favorite fish is fancy goldfish... i hate what man has done to them, they do not swim like a fish, but instead waddle like a duck.. i think their eyes popping out of their head is ugly .. the natural goldfish is beautiful but the fancy ones look like freaks to me..
