what's your worst purchase

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My stupid oscar! I bought him awhile ago and it was cool because he grew fast and stuff, but now my whole family's attatched to him and I don't want him anymore!
 
I bought a 1 gallon betta tank for $40 without filtration. It was plastic, too! Now it just sits in my bedroom with now fish in it because I don't need it anymore. What really ticks me off is that I saw the same thing in petsmart for 10!
 
I got this cool looking colisium petsmart i think it bubbles w/ an air pump of course and also creates an internal suction filling it with waste
 
Ropefish. Looked really cool, didn't do any homework. Got him home, all he did is hide in a rock for two weeks, never ate, and died!
Lesson learned.............
 
convict ciclid named Akon
he killed his mate,and any other thing that moved in the tank
i tossed him in with my 4" oscar and he beat the crap otta him he's only maybe 1"
he's stunted from a bad expierence i had all my tanks set up in my basement well all my fish died from a cold snap(so i thought) about 6 months later i was gonna take the tanks down well the water had mold and was almost black and only about 1/2" deep and when i go to move the tank the convit bangs his head on the glass
ok gotta save him how does he thank me by being a d*ck to anything that moves and then killing it
he's now in isolation in a 5 gallon bucket
 
my dithers/feeders they never last :(
 
my red devil he killed an oscar... they were in a 100 gallon tank.

Mine are eels.. Fire, Tiretrack or Peacock. they will not live.. They are typically dead within 48 hours. Makes no sense to me as I don't have trouble with any other fish but I've bought a total 5 different eels and they all die. They even eat the same day I put them in the tank but when I wake up the next morning they are on their backs.. still trying to figure it out.

I would love to have a nice fire eel but it doesn't look like it's going to happen.

I recently (3 weeks ago) bought a baby (5 inch) fire eel from petland ( yeah a chain store )
and he has eaten everyday and is active all the time.
