what's your worst purchase

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
have 3 oscars then they are so glutunous then they grow so fast. I need to buy a nex tank for them omg.......for me my oscars cannot feel full, they are always hungry eat anything that I place on the tank and I want to sell them in a pet store
 
worst purchase was a p bass that was being fed feeders and then i thought i could turn it to pellets but the thing wouldnt even eat like brine shrimp pellets. or the three bamboo sharks (separate times) that i bought who died in the box(no refund) died in the tank (no 14 day guarantee) and the last one a jumper at a foot long.
 
I was so stupid when my dad was teaching me about fish. LOL i wanted one of those li tank sharks one time and my dad wouldnt get me one. So i saved and saved my monthly allowence so i could get 2 of them. I had me mom take me to get them while dad was at work, i was going to surprise him. He had just called the pet store to sell two softball size angelfish and a 13 1/2 inch algeaeater. I got the sharks came home and placed them in the tank. Them i left to go to a soccer game . i come home and my dad was seening red and spitin fire. the 2 tank sharks had ate all his angels and have of his algeaeater and 2 of his neons. 65 dollars down the drain. I lost my allowence for 3 months to repace the fish and the pet store he had a agrement with was lost. So NEVER EVER EVER DO THAT.
 
my worst purchase was a red bellied piranha because all it did was hide behind a house and would only come out at night and when i dropped feeders in there he wouldnt eat them until night time so you couldnt even watch anything
 
mine would be a tiger oscar, didn't research much and he started in a 10g, than to my 20L, then i picked up a 75g for 80 bucks but when i got it home i got denied. needless to say that tank stayed in the closet while the oscar got bigger and bigger. long story short i sold him when he was about 6 inches with the empty 75 for 100 bucks and now im stuck with a small and separated breeder colony of guppies and about 15 marbled crayfish... great.
 
I bought tiger barbs for dithers. That didn't last long.
 
worst buy would be 4 jewel cichlids, now i have close to 20, with another 100 little fry :irked: they multiply like nobodys buisness, i mean these things lays eggs like every week, and i constantly have to take all the eggs out before more are hatched They are pretty, but no store will buy em from me, so i end up buyin more and more tanks
 
Mine might soon become the wolf fish I just got today.... I haven't released him into my main tank yet. He's still in a quarantine for now.
