juvi Silver Dollar... when i got it from the store, it as like a dime size. I asked the guy how big can it grow he said "DOLLAR COIN". with my kids' pressure, i got 5 and years later, all 'green plants' are gone and the '5 dollars' became 5 adult palm size DOLLARs.. i had to give it up to someone that has a MUCH bigger tank(120G).
These crawfish I scooped up out of the pond. At night time they were beginning to be much more curious as the community fish were resting. The little devils were put to go use though.
Thirty + years ago I got my first tank. And boy did
the baby Oscars look just too cute, bought 4 for a
20 long! Had to get a 50g shortly and wound up giving
the whole thing away after a while. Just got back into the
hobby 2 years ago,lol, so far so good.
The most regrettable fish purchase for me lately would have to be Penguin Tetras. No matter how much I tried, the two or three males were too aggressive and chased off everything. Even the bigger Angelfish and Three Spot Gourami were hiding.
I say silver dollars too! Under the impression they only got silver dollar size. I got some for myself and MIL and they destroyed everything in our tanks except 2 huge kissing gouramis she had. So I gave mine to her. Years later I have a beautiful tank with angels and rummy nose tetras yada yada yada. Well I had to take back those silver dollars plus some and they killed all of my fish within 2 months. ACK!!!!! So I put them to sleep! Now I have started all over and will not ever buy those again!
Chinese algae eater. Didn't eat algae. Grew very large, grew very angry....killed 4 of my fish. almost impossible to catch. End of story. Don't ever buy these
