I was 12 and had a 10g with a tinfoil barb, some albino cories, and a pair of silver mollies. I had a bunch of Lego men in it as deco. ha
I was 15 when I got a my own tank I got guppies they all died because I did not cycle. Then I got a betta and some mollys. At 13 my brother and I won 2 goldfish at the fair. My mom killed them by not doing the wc right she did not use water treatment.
I was 7 and it was a 15 gallon. I got it for free from the public library that was right across the street from my house. They didn't want it any more so they gave it to me with a fantail goldfish, an Albino Corydoras, and some Mollies.
That was 31 years ago. I have only had one lapse in that time, nine months when I was 16 and I went to Mexico as an exchange student. At the time I had a Managuensis and a Silver Arowana and my mom refused to take care of my "mean" fish.

I had two feeder goldfish that I won at a fair and a caecillian worm. I was maybe 7. The feeders lived for a couple years, but never grew more than a couple inches. The worm bailed on a weekly basis and then when he decided that jumping wasn't going to work he swallowed a rock and died.
My stepdad met my mom when I was six, and he had like a 55 with a pleco, and two others, not sure what, but we called them Frick and Frack. I want to say at least one was a JD, since now when my dad comes and sees our tanks, he points laughs and says, " Hey look it's Frack!" Right after they got married a few months later, he got me my own little 20 gallon with a few tin foil barbs, (im sure a few gold fish) and a litte pleco. Those were my pride and joy. A few years later, on the bus at school one day, a boy had a Nestle powdered chocolate milk container he was waiving around. He had it filled with water and a little tin foil barb. Being the animal nut I am, I asked about it, and he ended up trading the fish for my snack. I brought Bob home and put him in my tank and he lived for about 2 years. Not bad for a kid lol.
can't remember exactly, 8-10. But I started with a jdm style tank in my 10 gallon lmao. I bought everything for this 10g.
