Whats the one fish you really hate to see in the hobby?

[Just Prince]

parrot fish and not because they are hybrids. Its because they are as ugly as sin.

I'd go with dyed fish actually. I forgot about those.

X2--dyed, tattooed or worse yet--the fish I can't stand seeing in the hobby is a dead one!!!!

probably rtcs pacus and paroon sharks

Electric eels.

These are illegal here in Oklahoma, as well as the electric catfish, and any piranha.

yea any dyed/tattooed things. I used to work at a pet store and would yell at the manager for getting "painted glass fish." little kids come in--ooh, i want the pink one and a green one--for the to just let them die and come back for more.

I also had this mom and her little boys come in and ask me to bag up a fire eel elver. I refused because they only had a 15 gallon tank..they got all mad and said theyre never coming back cause of the "horrible service." They had no intention of getting a bigger tank within a month yet I bet they went to PETCO and were able to get one.

PACU, PIMA, RTC, PANGASIUS

( because 99% will be badly kept )

100% agreed....every other week I see another 14 old looking to buy a pima trying to look "cool"

how can you hate this? he loves you!!

just kidding, i think this is cruel.

i don't think any fish should be banned outright, but i look down on anyone buying/selling these.
