whats your biggest mistake

[goestonemoa]

i thought i had some rainbow trout but it was quite different
i had trout bait instead and i raised them for two weeks and tended to them as i do all my fish
and then had git rid of em because i didnt have my fish research liscence first
and buying some fish from a grumpy man on kijiji that ended up having something and it killed off a couple of my fish a while back that was also a big mistake.........
yah it was
on both counts
lets hear more from others trial and errorsor sad stories due to bad fish keeping

My biggest mistake was when I first started out and keeping too many centrals in a 75 gallon tank. They started eating each other.

ooo i think mine was one of the stupidest. i am embarrassed to say well i had just started keeping my own tank... i was young... i moved my fish, a whole community of them. when setting back up the tank i realized i did not have dechlor. i thought they would be fine for a day or so. i live in the city. i cant go on any more, i willjust say that no one survived. it traumatized me
