my first was was kind of cichlid which i caught myself in a well in India.i didn't know that it was a cichlid so i released them back after 1 day, when i came to canada i found out it was a cichlid cuz it looked like green terrors (not a green terror looked like one). i dont think anyone else know about those cichlids . maybe yet to be discovered.
What was your first fish?

boy.... I wish I can remember....that was like 45 years ago... my parents bought the tank as for the family... guppies and swordtails I think... I do remember the tank was a metal framed slate bottom 10 gal.... on a metal stand with a stainless steel light strip... a year or so later they added 2nd tank on stand below... and so the hobby began....
Took me awhile to remember.
I had one neon tetra, and one glowlight tetra, at least I think it was a glowlight. Just one of each in a 6g hex when I was 6. The glow light died in a month and the neon ate him. Good times.

My fish fish was a "fancy" goldfish in a bowl. When I got my first tank my dad bought me a Jack Dempsey, he liked it so much he went and bought another dempsey. BAD move, they were both males!!!

The good o'l days
I had an Albino and Black Tiger Oscar, but the Albino decided that it didn't want to live anymore so it jumped out of my tank and i found it near the garage dorr the next day. I aquired another Black Tiger Oscar the same size as the original and they have paired up, apparently. lol
