It's funny that some new hobbyists do well with a species that more experienced ones don't. But all in all, I think difficulty is based on hardiness of the species, extreme water hardness & pH needs, bad sex ratios, unusual temperature needs, etc.

Lepto. aureoguttatus and Campellolebias come from very soft water, a pH of under 5 and water that is cooler than in Central Brazil. Diapterons are sensitive and not really hardy. These are just two examples. However, any new hobbyists that reads a lot and talks with others having some success with such species can do well also. Like the TV slogan - "JUST DO IT!"
