What was your first fish?

[BlackTopKing]

My 1st fish was an Oscar- at 10. had him jamed in my dads 45gOct...for a couple years then Like a kid I left home at 16ys-it leaved for another 2years under my lil bro care.

When I 1st got into the hobby completely-I got a pair of Oscars as well....it was the only fish I knew how to keep...LOL

Pair of convicts and a kuhli loach in a ten gallon tank. This was back when a lot of books recommended a 10 gallon for convicts lol. The kuhli loach didn't last long though...

A big fat Blue Oranda. I had it for years called buster.
That was when i relaised the fun and skill in growing a small fish into a monster. I lost him when i went away for a weekend, came back to find he passed on to the great tank in the sky. I still have a soft spot for oranda's

I followed that with Oscars in a 6' x 2' x 2' tank when i left home.

My first was of course the gold fish but for tropical that would be Black Neon tetras.
