Fish Beginners Regret Buying

Buying the wrong fish as a beginner can ruin the entire aquarium hobby.
Pet stores will happily sell you fish that grow massive, turn aggressive, or require advanced care — and beginners pay the price months later with dead fish, rehoming nightmares, and total burnout.

In this video, we break down fish beginners regret buying the most — and more importantly, what you should get instead so your tank actually thrives.

This isn’t about shaming anyone. Every experienced fishkeeper has made these mistakes. This is about saving you time, money, and heartbreak before it happens.

???? In this video, you’ll learn:

Fish that beginners almost always regret buying

Why common “starter fish” are actually terrible for new tanks

Fish that outgrow aquariums faster than pet stores admit

Aggressive fish that destroy community tanks

Beginner-friendly alternatives that actually work

How to avoid impulse buys that lead to rehoming or failure

We cover notorious beginner traps like common plecos, oscars, goldfish in small tanks, discus, bala sharks, arowanas, aggressive cichlids, algae eaters that stop eating algae, puffers, clown loaches, rainbow sharks, and more — plus better fish choices that give you the same look, behavior, or personality without the regret.

If you’re new to fishkeeping — or getting back into the hobby after a bad experience — this video can save your tank.
