what's your worst purchase

[Gator]

Worst mistake I bought 4 Baby Arowanas then I needed a clean up crew for the tank so I bought 2x 4 line pim cats about 1 1/2" longer than the 3" baby Silvers, they were in my 600G tank (96'x48'x31") and were fine for 3 days then one morning I had 2 silvers left and 2 very fat 4 line pims. So I moved the 2 remaining silvers to an empty 29G to grow out a little and then the larger of the 2 baby silvers beat the snot out of the smaller one, now I have 1 silver. I'll be putting on the scuba mask and "fishing" for 2 cats here soon. I hope the last Silver likes catfish fillet!!

wolf fish suck. i thought it be pretty sweet having a large fish that only eats feeders and meet, but after three weeks of it just laying at the bottom, it got old.

My worst was also a wolf fish. He ate and tore through three red snake heads that I had for a year in a 55g. I guess you can say this is when I learned that too many fish in a small tank means fish food for someone. I got the wolf from a friend who had 135g. Wow was that a mistake. This was around the time the Big Ban came around so I was unable to replace them! I miss my Snake Heads! :WTF:

I think I can safely blame this story on my mother and father because I was underage at the time, I think I was 8 or 9.

The albino walking cat.
Family goes to fish store. We have a small tank, 20 gal., (old metal frame with the black sticky sealant), and mother sees this little white thing with whiskers. It’s so CUTE. Father looks, he likes it too and little girl (me) starts begging!!

Mother asks “How big to they get. Channels get pretty big, you know.” Mother grew up in the country. Fish store guy says maybe 2 to 3 inches. “No, it’s not like the wild ones.” Albino fish gets bagged up and taken home.

One by one, other fish in the tank start disappearing. And worse, seems no matter what we try to keep him in, he keeps getting out of the tank-AND GROWING. But, because he is a “walking” cat, when he gets out of the water, he doesn’t die, no matter how dusty he got. Once mother was walking by where the tank was and accidently kicked this guy across the room and under the sofa and he still wouldn’t die!

Father says, “Okay, That’s it. Back to the store with him!”

Fish store wouldn’t take him back. No other fish store would take him either. “BUT YOU SOLD HIM TO US!”

“No.”

What to do? No one in the family, even father (the old softy!) had the heart to kill him. A decision was made. I caught him up and hauled him to the local irrigation canal. Problem solved but not the end of the story.

3 years later a news article showed up in the local paper. Kids fishing in the canal (!) had caught an albino walking catfish. It was huge, they were ecstatic and I think they fried him up.

That was the best mental picture I've had in a long time- mom kicking the catfish across the floor
