What is one fish you have or had that you'll never buy again

[Old Fritz]

Title says it all.

My choice would be a emperor angel. They look really cool but he was a mean guy. I traded him because he would attack anything even close in size to him.

Although good for turning/cleaning the sand bed and fun to watch, diamond gobys or equivalent. I got tired of blowing sand off rocks and corals.

 

[Scott Strange]

Maroon clown... meanest dang fish I ever saw

 

[Kryssie]

Rhomboid Wrasse and Lineatus Wrasse. They are absolutely gorgeous and I love them, but every time I’ve tried with these two specific types of fairy wrasse, they’ve had spinal issues and died after a few weeks in quarantine.

my Lineatus Wrasse did the same thing. Kept hitting the glass until he killed himself :-(

For me it would be damsels. Bought 3 when I first set my tank up and they are little devils. One died, the other I was able to get out of my tank, but the 3rd is too smart. He's been living there for over a year. Thankfully, my tangs and triggers have finally put him in his place.

Naked cinnamon clown. I FINALLY got rid of these things after 2 hours straight of trying to net them and gave them away for free to petco . Most aggressive fish I’ve ever seen in my life

Saltwater- damsels
Freshwater- South American red tailed catfish

Tomato clowns, Diamond gobies, and would add the worst- Lemon peal angel. I literally had to break down my reef to remove it.
Ate all my Adan’s, favias was a real *******

My purple fire fish. It is the prettiest fish you'll never see. It comes out to grab food once a day for maybe 2 minutes.

Oh my. I had a flame angel once that was a real butt. Luckily I never tried a lemon peel

 

[Tuffyyyyy]

Anything caught in the wild. Which sucks because firefish, hawk fish and wrasses are all awesome.

A little bit different slant on this ... frostbite clowns, because mine are spawning on a regular basis and I will try to raise them.
