What was your first fish?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Back when I was 5, I made my parents buy me a 5gallon hex tank with a UGF and I put 2 feeder golds...a black moore, an apple snail and a chinese algae eater in it. They all stayed in there for a year or two, until the incandescent bulb melted the tank hood and I decided to give my fish away since they were of course WAY to big for the tank ;)
 
5 HUGE goldfish crammed in a ten gallon tank. didnt change the filter cartridge till it was so clogged it wouldnt work anymore and i would feed them a handful of flakes twice a day. I think i was 9 or 10?
 
Mollies; guppies. 10g hex.

Seriously.
 
Gold fish. Had lots and lots of gold fish. You remember the flat round bowls made out of heavy glass. Good friend of my dads let me catch a gold fish out of his stock tank on his farm. Took it home and put it in my bowl. Bowl was about 2 gal. new goldfish was about 8 inches. I thought it was neat. Mom wasn't real happy with me. Back to the stock tank. That was 47 years ago. First fish I personaly bought was a neon. Fish have been in my family for a long time. My mom started a tank when she worked at a five and dime. She would not like me to say how long ago that was.
 
im not sure what my first fish ever was because ive been keeping fish since i was like 4 but my best guess would be goldfish or platties

my first monster fish would be my oscar
 
I thought half of the comments here would say guppies. It shows that some of these people truly have monster fish in their blood. Especially the guy who had a snakehead for a pet. LOL.
