No Second Chances: Is there a fish that you swear you will never own again?

[nanoreefer23]

Ill take ‘em!

I’m still trying to decide if I’m gonna give it away. Nitrate/phosphate problem solved with chaeto reactor but still can’t keep anything but large colonies on the sand bed. Otherwise they get buried or carried away.

Sleeper Banded Goby - This was an excellent fish to keep the sand bed stirred and constantly turned over, but… he covered and killed coral 8” off the sandbed. I could level the sand and the next day he would have half of the 125 gallon tank bare and mounded on the other side.

Six line Wrass - This fish harassed everything! He ate and attacked any invert he could, but would not even look at flatworms.

Maroon Gold Stripe Clown - As a pair, they were awesome in the tank and kept to themselves. However, the female attacked anything that went into the tank including my hands. She bit me more than any other fish I’ve had in 26 years of fish keeping.

I had one that bullied two clowns to death and was constantly nipping at all my coral. He would also attack snails and shrimp. It took me two weeks to catch the little bugger

Adding that fish to the list of "never put this in my tank"

Dwarf seahorses and +1 to firefish. Pretty sure I got a dud with the firefish but still done with those… the one I had only came out to eat for its whole life span.

Had a yellow boxfish get caught in an MP40 and nuked the tank… killed everything. Never again.

Tomato Clown - drew blood every single time I worked in the tank, black domino damsel a close second, it too often drew blood.

I got really lucky with my sixline, he or she is not aggressive at all to other fish… peppermint shrimps another story’s. Cute behavior sleeping by wedging themselves in a rocks near the sand
