MEH fish?

[treylane]

There are lots of "favorite fish" and "holy terror" threads... hopefully most hobbyists know to pause for a minute before buying maroon clowns or sohal tangs or sixline wrasses these days...

But what about the fish that just wind up being "MEH, wouldn't do that again" .. we buy them because they look good or are supposed to be "rare" or something, but after living with them awhile, they just don't knock your socks off?

#1 for me - leopard wrasse. yes her pattern is beautiful, but she spends a good chunk of her time just aimlessly cruising the tank, just isn't all that "interactive" with her environment.

Arceye hawkfish, I put at absolutely gorgeous female in my 80 bow and it turned male and slowly stressed out the wrasses and kole tang that were already there. Now he has been the only fish in there for over a year, kills anything, even if they are much larger. Can't catch him either.
