new fish survival?

ok, i'll have left off loads of fish....so let me know if any need adding!!! - i just put in all the ones that came to mind at the time! - sorry SW people....i dont really know any s/water fish to add!! except clown fish and tangs! - if you want ANY fish adding, give me a shout!

now, what inspired this poll is this.....i have heard many a time how tetras often die during acclimitisation and how sensitive they are etc etc...............mine have all been fine. AND......i've heard how hardy guppies are..........my first set of 5 males........2 died of what i think was columnaris, bought another batch last week of 5, and 1 is dead and the others aren't well....columnaris again i think. both batches from diff pet shops, so i cant even blame the shop!! the girly guppies however are absolutely fine. maybe its just my bad luck? so just wondering which species are hardiest from a poll point of view. please let us know if you have trouble with 1 particular type of fish? not intending to be morbid, but i'll be more wary of buying certain fish if they wont survive once out of the lfs!!!
