who has the ugliest fish ( freshwater ) or knows of an ugly fish?

Oscars are sort of ugly, but very loveable. Wolf fish are really ugly. Pacus are kind of ugly.

The rock fish would have to be one of the ugliest fish I've ever seen.
You see them when you dive on the Great Barrier Reef.

majority of people think bubble-eye goldfish are ugly.
I beg to differ !!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM !!!

I googled rockfish. Not so bad; actually pretty cool looking, maybe I was looking at the wrong kind... THESE, are ugly:


PS - Bubble boy those fish!! Hah, pardon me but IMO they are sort of revolting. Not even because of the egg-sac-like-eye-portrusions, but because of what could happen if they pop! Aren't you scared of them popping?

i can see why some would think oscars are ugly (i personally think they are very colorful - especially the albino and tiger)
But like you said, their personality overshadows any negativity.

i'm an expert at keeping bubble-eye goldfish (hence my name)
I have been keeping and breeding show-quality bubble-eyes for over 5years.

You have to follow a few simple rules.
1) No sharp objects - this includes rocks, ornaments, some plants

2) If using power filters - cover ALL filter intakes with sponges.
Or altenatively, get a sponge filter.

3) Recommend a Barebottom tank - makes it easier for them to find food - or alternatively get pebbles or sand.
No sharp gravel

4) No nippy fish (this includes fast goldfish).
Recommended tank mates include Slow moving goldfish e.g. celestial, telescope varities.


In all honesty, the bubbles are actually tougher than u think.
But just follow these rules and u should be fine.

rock fish can actually be really bright and colorful, they have a bass shape.

the wolf fish is by far the ugliest fw fish
