Default Fish I wouldn't keep in a 10 (or a 55 )

Pictures pinched from other threads, but worth stickying as a reminder of the stupidity of what some shops stock. These fish get this big, and quicker than you think....

Thanks for posting that. It's not just stupid that they stock them, but how insanely inexpensive some of them are.

Hehe, now I am expecting the picture to come to life with "She Bangs!"

I just wanted to say that I didnt know Clown Knifes got that big, they are usually skipped on the 'big fish' list. Thanks for posting Wayne!

Here's an irredecent shark that is on another forum, kind of blurry, but you get the point...

Look at the bottom right, you can barely see a large Bala Shark
