Just the other day my .9" convict female (Fry from parents in same tank) decided to have a go at my 6.5" bala shark in the same tank. Well, the con just snuk up on the still bala shark, took a quick bite of his anal fin and the bala shark swam 1 million miles an hour into the heater, than swam straight into the glass and is now scared of the con fry.

4 red zebras i thought at the shop they looked wuite nice so i bought 4 i got home and realised there not that much different although still have 2 of them i like them a little more now i think 4 was to many and they are bigger now soo...
Saved a fish once too from Walmart and it got my other fish sick. Was a bad move. They shouldn't be permitted to keep fish at those stores.
Worst thing I bought was the small 5 gallon tank I started with, what a wast of money I did my fist upgrade in a matter of months. The only good thing that came out of it was it started my addiction.

There used to be pet stores called "Noah's Ark" around me. They would do 1 cent sales, meaning buy 1 get one for a penny. When I first started in the hobby, probally 20 years ago now. I shoved 4 of these, 6 of those, a few of them, and 10 neons in a 10 gal. tank. All would be dead in a couple of days and I would have my mom or grandma go and buy me new fish. It was a bad cycle that would keep the store manager happy though. Good news now is we have the internet, forums etc. that will hopefully teach newbies how not to start a tank.
