What is the fish you regret putting in your tank the most?

[Roy 9121]

Nope ocellaris.

She not mean to the tank means just bites my hand all the time.

Mine bites me all the time, it's just trying to protect its anemone. They don't hurt much, i always thought it was cute.

Not a fish but a green serpent star that could reach out and touch any fish it wanted in a flash. Became a sump dweller so it could bat clean up. Could not believe how fast that brittle star was.

I've never had a fish i regretted, but i have a PJ cardinal right now that's kind of grumpy, and chases my other PJ around a little. Nothing major though.

Blue hippo that caused an ich outbreak that killed everything but my yellow tang. The yellow tang seems to be bullet proof, but he does spend a lot of time with his best buddy the cleaner shrimp now!!

Bicolor Blenny. Fine for several days and then started picking at a blue tort and maxima clam. Went in his hole in a bomme tower. Pulled tower out, placed it into a 5 gallon with an inch of water and waited until I heard the splash. Then back to the LFS.

I have known the Six line Wrasse to be a real pain in a few of my set ups. Since I've started the hobby back in 2004 this fish stands true as an aggressive opportunist. They have to be one of the last tank mates or else it will harass newcomers. My two pennies.

More of a love hate thing with my Melanurus. I love that he's very active and all over the tank and colorful. I hate that I can't add Peppermints or Nudi's to take care of Aptasia because of him.

Butterfly pyramids :-( awesome gorgeous fish but they brought ich which eventually led to the wipeout of my entire tank :-( still recovering

Several years ago I rescued a maroon clown. Wife fell in love with her, and before I knew it had me talked into getting her a nem and then a mate. Big mistake. I could live with them attacking my hand, but between them knocking over coral frags & their nem shifting from time to time - has cost me hundreds in corals. About 1/3 of my 150 gal DT is "off limits" to new corals because of them.

I think I speak for the whole reef community (tell me if I'm wrong) but we'd like to see some pix, personally I love love love maroon clownfish, they've got so much personality imo, so yeah back to business, we want pix

They've since been rehomed, but below are a couple pics of when I had them in a 150 gal mixed reef.

*Evil* Maroon clowns have the Pygmy Cherub surrounded... :mad:

Relatively new to the game although my female Maroon clown can be a diva at times

Recently purchased a yellow tail wrasse and for the first day she kept harassing him

Stopped now as she realised he was more interested in looking for food than dominating the tank.

I hope the clown doesn't bother any new additions

Tried to post a pic keep getting an error?!?

Black domino damsel!!!!!my son loves damsels so I got him a baby one for his first 2.5 gallon tank where it lived for 6 months and stayed very small since we fed lightly. well his little brother dumped the tank while I was at work and my wife scooped up the fish and put it in my display here it tripled in size within 2 months and now it's freaking huge with a very bad attitude and surprisingly smart. I have a 150 gallon display with 7 fish and most of them are small but everthing i add gets harassed and it's the only fish I can't catch but I will get him one day and his new home will be the predator tank with triggers and eels at a pet store near me and that will be priceless

12" niger trigger he's a beautiful fish but attacks my fingers anytime I'm doing maintenance in the tank plus can't add anything new he destroys it

Flame angel :/

 

[Maacc]

Gold head sand sifting goby. He was an absolute terrorist that killed a great maxima clam and most of my acans by swimming to the top of the tank and dropping his mouthful of sand everywhere :mad:
He is rehomed in someone else's FOWLR where they think the sand shoe is neat.
