I know alot of people have posted asking, "what is your favorite fish?" but, I was wondering is some out there had a least favorite fish for one reason or another. I have had a tank raised neon dottyback for alomost a year now. He started in a 29 gal. then one day my wife thought he would look good in the 75 reef. What a mistake!!! He has since affected any new similiar sized or similiar colored fish we've added(some haven't survived). All I want to do is get him out which is close to impossible(been at it for a few months). He is by far my least favorite fish in the world!!!!! :mad:

No question...the blue angel I dropped 60 bucks on that died in two weeks. Stupid, no good for nothing, low-down...

so far we like everything we have bought for our tanks. The damsels are a pain in the butt though...
Corky have you tryed a clear container with a little bineshrimp in it? That is how I was able to get everyone out of our 72gal to put into the new tank. If you haven't tried it I would recommend it. Later Lisa

Yes. I am trying to get rid of my neon dottyback too now. He is aggresive and my jawfish is on the verge of death. Would anyone know any colorful fish who arent aggresive or too big that also like swimming towards the bottom of the tank and all inside and through all the crevices. I really like watching the dottyback but he is BAD!

justlooking--have you thought about a six-line wrasse? They are very busy bodies always roaming in and out of crevices and just acting very curious. They stay pretty small but are very cute and have great colors!

I guess there's always one in the bunch, so it might as well be me.
I have a Yellowtail damsel - was my first fish I cycled my 55 with - and I actually like it a lot. Nice deep blue indigo with a brilliant yellow tail. Got a blue damsel as well in other tank.
Both are well behaved and have fit into the pecking order with the other tank mates nicely.
Least favorite is this dwarf rusty anglefish I bought on sale. Not much color, seems sort of mentally challenged and doesn't do much but eat and sh_t and well ...... you asked :p

Hey just looking, it's nice to know that others out there know what your going through. It's kind of why I thought of this original post, figuring that some fish just aren't worth the hassle and you wouldn't know that unless others share their experiences.
WOW, Sammy- such built up aggresion. I hope fishgirl doesn't see this post any time soon. (ouch :D )
