I haven't really tried any fish that I couldn't keep. I did have a golden puffer that I've wanted for a very long time. Except this one was biting all the fish in my tank and had to sell him. It was pretty sad because I've wanted one so bad, then it ended up he was so mean.

Yellow Tang - twice
Achilles Tang - twice
powder blue - once though hehehe
Lyreial Anthia's - twice
Right now I have a Regal Angel and I think it might not survive so far its been 4 days it has not eaten and it I think it gotten into a fight so it its injure. So far not dead yet its just staying one spot and not swimming much let see how many more days before it will either survive or die my guess die. I will never get one of these again. Anyone ever try Scribble angel how are they?

Twin Spot goby - died every time I put one in the tank.... of the three I had, one died in a month, one in a week, and one within the hour. All in established tanks with perfect param's. It's just my achilles heel I guess.

Its been quite a few, the main one is small juvenile Dragon Wrasse...i've had at least 3 or 4 , and after a month or so they always dissappear , I never find them again newhere in or out of the tank. The same goes for any small Clown triggers that i get.

anything under an inch never seems to survive in my tank(s)
At this point i no longer want to go for the sales on the small guys because over time it adds up to the price of a more mature and resistant fish.

Lets see here the one thing I can not keep alive is regardless Yellow Tangs also. Lost track of how many that have died. Yet give me a Blue Hippo tang or a Naso Tang even one one inch long and I can raise that sucker to over 6-7 inches with no issues.
