As implied (it's prolly been done before) I want to make a MONSTER thread with everyone's first tank. Well here's mine. A 50g tall. Well atleast i think it was.
mine would have been a clear rubber maid shoe box with 1 feeder goldfish in it lol it didnt comepare to my dads 75 at the time but it was a good start for a 5 year old
the bottom pic with just bamboo is the very first set up ever for me. I tried.. and i was so happy about my first tank... then the bug bit me and I am hooked for life.
Theres a photo around the house somewhere of my fish, I dont have time to look through 100000 photos. It was a 10 gallon with 2 fancies in it. They lasted about 1.5yrs I beleive, died of poor water conditions (came to that conclusion about 15years later) To think they could still be alive today.
Ill post a pic of my second tank though when I started back up again. 3 years ago
3 commons 1 comet, 1 black moore and 1 calico fan tail. Moores always died so I gave up with them (probably not knowing how to cycle, or lack of) I killed 2 commons. So the White common (7"), female comet(9"), and the calico (5") are still alive in my 55gal atm with many other friends.
