Alot of people I know started fishkeeping by getting a small tank and picking out random fish. What was your first tank and was it decent or just awful? Mine was:

6 gallon bowfront (The kind with the filter up in the hood)
Filtered, no heater
2 angelfish :WHOA: :screwy: :nilly:
2 common pleco :WHOA: ::WHOA:
1 neon tetra
1 comet :nilly:
1 zebra danio
1 clown loach :eek:

I know... it was awful... but I was like 5. And think about it, you gotta start somewhere

I was probably 14 or so and I had a 55g with one Oscar. Heated, UG filter and I was actually pretty good about water changes. My only mistake really was using a lot of feeders. He picked up an infection from one and kicked the bucket.
