    Don't know if a thread like this as already been started could not find one, but as the title suggests, is there anything you have added to your tank that you now regret & if so why?

    Bicolor Pseudochromis, meanest little $%*# I have ever seen. Heck just look at his eyes. If I can ever catch him is is either going to the local Death Co or in the Q-tank.

    Oh otty i had the the strawberry one once - it was fine in the tank at first, then suddenly became evil! I bought an eye spot goby and the psuedo ripped it apart with in a few hours!!!
    He went!!

    I had a monti cap, a pyrimid finger leather and my toadstool had grown too big. I swapped it all for a smaller toadstool and still have some credit left. Im thinking on wether to get a brain or frogspawn with the rest of the credit!

    The only fish i have ever regretted was the one i have just mentioned!! Oh and when i got 3 yellow tail damsels. I had to remove 2 of them!

    Purple and Yellow tangs are bad about that. You should get a Hippo to Naso tang if you want a peaceful fish.

    There's nothing wrong with dottybacks.....just add them last. If you don't, they'll decide the entire tank is theirs.

    when i first started up the guy at the lfs told me to get a few damsels to cycle my tank with, so i bought like 4 yellow tailed damsels. I had to dismantel the tank to get those little sons of b####es out, after they killed my first real fish, fire fish.
