What's your bad luck fish?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Oscars are the only one for me. I get them home and they get so caked with ick they die. Owned dozens of fish and never seem to have a problem with either one.

Your tap water is 50-75 ppm!!! Something is dead in that water. I don't even think it is legal to be above 5 ppm where I live. How do you get it down to a healthy level for the fish?
 
hmmm i think it was angel fish i could never get them right... but im good now!
 
Im with the guys who say texas cichlids aswell.
My current texas is sick all the time and he constantly picks fights he cant win.
I havent seen him eat for over a month
 
Texas as well for me and alot of people i know they just keep dropping dead even at the pet stores around here.We are trying to do a study on them with water changes it seems that the good once a week water change is not so good for them,thats when large die offs occur.
 
Rope fish, damn things always die on me....
 
Those tiny little bumblebee catfish, ive lost 3.

and plecos too, only i can keep alive are the commons.
Lost green phantom, snowball, queen arasbasque, leopard frog, gibby, and like 5 bristlenose.
