I only have two fish that I have keep, both 20 years ago and never want to keep again.
Orbicularist Bat and Sixline wrasse.
Once I have a little knowledge, I am very selective in what fish I put into my tank.
The Batfish was such a beautiful baby that quickly out grow and my tank as an ugly adult. The Sixline pair that I keep are such mean fish. They attacked and blinded my female Mandarin and leave her starve to death. Once they pecked her eyes out in coordinated attack in a few second, right in front of me, they completely ignored her. If that is not calculated murder, I don't know what is. They were coordinated, one go for one eye and the second one the other eye within seconds of each other. This is in a 420 gal DT. Both pairs, the Sixline and Mandarin, were fat and there were plenty of food for all 4 fishes. The Mandarin pair were spawning regularly. I cann't tell if the Sixline were breeding or not, but it would not surprised me if they were.
