what's your worst purchase

Chinese Algae Eaters... they stopped eating algae after 2 months and started attacking other fish. They ended up getting eaten by my African Clawed frogs..
Not necessarily the worst but definitely the most disappointing purchases where my group of widebar blackbar silver dollars and goonch catfish x 2(because I didn't learn the first time). The widebars had a 450 gallon tank to fly around and that's exactly what they did...a fish on crack. Constantly chasing each other and nervous as hell and always hitting the glass even in a 8'x3'=450 gallon. Traded them into the lfs and was surprised they sold the next day. Poor guy! LOL
I bought a 21" goonch that grew to 30" and lets just say it sat there like a picture in the tank...sold him to someone else and his tankmates in the pond stressed the goonch and it never recovered and died. Bought a small 5" goonch to try and cohab with my rays it grew to 18" in a year. If you can believe it this one was more motionless then a picture if there is such a thing! LOL
I tried the cohab with the rays when it was big and the rays just stressed it out by always sitting on him or bumping him..etc. It stopped eating so I had to put it back in a tank without rays. I eventually just traded it in the fish store for credit and it sold in one day and died 5 days later probably due to new owner inexperience.

Definitely 2 Columbian sharks from Walmart, the guy said they can live in a 29 freshwater, ate two of my sword tails, I unded up returning them the next day.
Mine wasn't really a purchase. I brought home a snapping turtle is was about 7 inches long. This was like 10 years ago. At the time I had a common wolf that was about 1.5"-2"in girth. They were getting along fine so (the turtle didn't try to eat the wolf fish).it was in there for 2months. Til 1 day I went on a vacation I depended on my brother to feed them. To come home and find the half eaten wolf fish.
Damn missed that fish

Definitely my 99 cent convict. Killed about 3 fish and dominated the tank, had to keep it in my african cichlid tank where it's doing much better.
