My very first tank was a mixture of any fish over 4" I could get at the petstore.. Oscars, Dempseys, Terrors, Africans, Bala Sharks, Silver Dollars, Pacus, Kribs, Pikes, Loaches, Plecos, Labeo Sharks, XL Tetras.. the list goes on and on. I used to trade in fish at the LFS on a daily basis, and take home whatever new beast they got in.. My fish also died on a daily basis, and I never did water changes
Imagine that! I lived in a small town, and no one had a brain enough to tell me otherwise.. Then after discovering aquariums on the itnernet, I realized how retarded and common most of those fish are..
This was all in a 55g breeder too..
