Leucistics are fine for me but 99% of albinos don't sit well. Those albino firemouths did not sit well with me.
Your least favorite fish

Esox, how can you be so wrong and so right all at once, lol?
I couldn't agree more about the rays; as I said, I just don't get it. But aros have always been amongst my favourites, even though I don't semi-worship them as so many of their devotees do. I've had silvers, a jardinii and an African, and aros in general just mesmerize me....
...so I guess it just goes to show how accurate and important this comment is.
The one fish I would say that I genuinely HATE are freaking blood parrots. Absolutely useless hybrid mutated deformed monstrosities and I have NO CLUE why anyone likes these things.
Really not a fan of piranha or oscars either. I wouldn't say I hate them, but zero appeal factor for me. Ugly fish that don't live up to the hype around them.
Most tetras. Never really kept them much in 30+ years, obviously because there's not much interest for me...but recently actually went digging through tetra species trying to find something to keep a school of for some upper/mid level activity in my largest tank. Quickly discovered that there's maybe 4 or 5 species I'd ever vaguely consider keeping, most I just find ugly as hell.

Don't like Peacocks and Mbunas, too colourful. Just pure ugly colour. Most look like a 3 year old mixed colours on a piece of paper.
Gambusia, Tilapia and Carp for being environmental destroyers
Not a big fan of annual killis. Too much effort for such a short time, and if they don't breed you've lost the species. Also crazy expensive where I am.
Red Devils/Midas. Just look unnatural.
Most mollys. I do like the Yucatan Penisula and wild type though.

Lots of people here like bichirs. But I don't. Anything with hands and feet just isn't a fish.
And these over bred bubble head goldfish. Never got one like that at the fairground.

oooh this be an ugly, ugly thread...
hmm. Can't say I 'hate' any fish but some just don't float my boat:
arowanas (I don't get the hype)
rays (cute pancakes but do they do anything?)
gulpers (like, why?)
Fontosas (Look malformed to me with those weird heads)
Dovii (big and ugly asf)
People forget there are female flowerhorns if you don't like the big koks
I like all different types of fish really.

Females can still get them, and can get them pretty big, just not the gigantic swollen unwieldy ones
