None, like all good fishkeepers I deliberately research my fish so they are compatible and something I like. Therefore I don't have a "worst" fish. |

 Spelt wrong, but good enough guess.
I actualy know they mean cool, but it annoys me when things are written but aren't even remotely close to English! |

If the 'worst fish' means the one which tends to cause most trouble, I would say the Sucking Loach, Gyrinocheilus aymonieri. It is often sold as a peaceful algae-eater, but it kills other fish by eating holes in them. I had two when I kept tropical fish, and have seen many more in other people's community tanks. I have seen them kill: Angelfish, Opaline Gourami, Marbled Molly, Fancy Goldfish and another Sucking Loach. The victims are usually several times larger than the loach.
Many books do not mention this habit, or say that the occasional rogue does it. In my experience, most of them do it, and it is not worth taking the risk. Sucking Loaches also often die for no obvious reason, and with no signs of illness. I would not recommend them to anyone, unless they have a large species tank for them. Ancistrus or Otocinclus will do the job of algae-eating without eating your favourite Angelfish or Gourami. |

I would have to agree, the worst fish I ever bought was Chinese Algae Eaters, never again will I ever own one, none of the books mentioned there liking for sucking on fish etc, had to find out the hard way |

At the moment African Red eye tetras the keep bl@@dy dropping dead.
But I do not keep any fish that I would term worst from a behaviour point of view if I'm not going to like their behaviour I won't keep them. |
