Dachende Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 (photo from web) The most aggressive & dominant fish I've ever had To catch him when I had given him to someone else, it took me over an hour and I had to remove everything (plants, wood, rocks) He then jumped out of the bag when I was tying it and landed in a shoe. Oh and he turned my rainbow shark into a coward. Don't miss him one bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Laura Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Angelfish...eat everything, kill things, tore up my tank. :an!gry Despise. Stupid Stupid.

Oh and he turned my rainbow shark into a coward. Don't miss him one bit. Ooh yes, little buggers. Had a massive fat grey one who got stuck in the ornament chasing after my rams and 'drowned' I guess. Unfortunate, but he was impossible to catch too LOL :facepalm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godly3vil Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Kribensis, I will never again make the mistake of thinking they are a good community fish. Every single one I have had has had some sort of anger problem even the juvies are mean. They have to be the hardest fish to catch as well, as soon as I take the lids off the tank they are gone from sight, the last ones I got rid of I had to completely empty the tank and then scoop them out as they were "beached". :an!gry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy Sanson Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Re the Kribensis. My brother had to catch one out of his tank cause it was terrorising everything in its path. He too had to finally empty out most of the water, put the other fish in another tank. He was so angry by the end of it, that when he FINALLY caught it, he threw it out of the window (2 stories up) he felt real bad once he calmed down :facepalm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F15hguy Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I hate those red parrot's ugly lil suckers.... strangely enough I love the Algae eaters, great personality if with decent tank mates. also hate the Golden Kuhli's (Pangio anguillaris) impossible to catch and you never see them (Thought mine had dies 6 months ago never saw it even after a full tank teardown/ reset, it survived a full gravel wash, turned up the other day abou 4cm bigger) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I'm with F15hguy, hate those red parrots. They look like 2 different species of fish have been stuck together - badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She got thrown into my monster tank and seems to be happy there - certainly not picking on anything (as they'll bite back, hehe) The first time I tried to catch her was impossible, so I tried a calm and quiet method and snapped her up first pop - could have been just lucky though. The smaller juvie is now in the community tank and no issues with the other fish - clearly has a quieter personality and knows how to play nice :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I found guppies irritating and I didn't enjoy my first bristlenose who scared my peppered cories away from his bits of the tank. He was so unsociable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.Eagle Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 +1 for goldfish, brought a commet i think for about $5 he was tiny,from lfs, 10 years and 2 tanks later hes still going, plus he eats any other fish thats small enough to fit in his mouth, :facepalm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si_sphinx Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I dislike goldfish and think they are only good for ponds. Other than that i don't hate any fish. From what ive read, people have only hated these fish because they didnt know what the fish naturally are like. Kribs are territorial, yes. Angelfish can destroy and eat everything, yes. Red parrots are ugly, i agree! :slfg: But in saying that i to had some angel fish that ate all my BN fry after they hatched before i could remove them! They were sold the next day. :facepalm: but i didn't hate them. It wass a lesson learnt and the last angelfish in my tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that what they are lol? or am I misinformed :dunno: +1 though, horrible nasty fish.
