My worst was a $65 Frontosa. Despite knowing that the Blue zebra would kill it, my girlfreind insisted that she had to have one so I bought the biggest one thay had thinking that maybe if it was big enough he might stand a chance but no luck despite being 5 times the size of the zebra he only lasted a week.

P.S. now she wants another one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Buying my first oscar. I had already started a peaceful community tank with tiger barbs, pictus cats, cory's, all kinds of stuff and a buddy of mine says, hey why don't you get a oscar? They have great personality. I didn't know a thing about them at the time and didn't do my homework. I sure picked the right one alright, I bought a tiger oscar. The moment I put him in the tank, he swam right after the school of tiger barbs. In less than a week he slaughtered all of my fish. I don't know why but I kept him but he became my favorite fish. Now I don't even mess with peaceful fish anymore. Too skiddish and boring.
I named him Kurgan after the bad guy in the Highlander movie. When he was small he would only eat the heads off of the fish. He passed away a couple of days ago. I had him for 6 years. Don't ever keep a pair of convicts in the same tank with your prized fish. Mean little bastards.

I was like 12 or 13, and I bought some mail order Eduard Schmmidt-FockeDiscus from some dude in the back of Aquarium magazine (back when they used to have ads in the back).
The fish arrived in great condition and grew up to be healthy, vibrant, Green Severums!
