What was your first fish?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
A fish tank with a few gold fishes......thought they only lived for 3 months max so we kept buying new ones...
 
first ever fish i kept was a stickleback caught from the local pond. . kept this in a tiny jam-jar and fed it with bread crumbs. water changes was 100%. .
first Cichlid i kept was a firemouth . . . that was ten years later.
 
A single sword tail in a big wine bottle (full of water).

It was 1978. I was little and felt like the greatest aquarist ever.

Later I got and kept some Sunfish, which for Europe were something exotic. I caught them from a filthy stinky cesspool "created" by the waste water from a gypsy settlement.

My first fish was a super agressive black shark (Morulius chrysophekadion) named haywire. My younger bro gave him to me, i kept him for a few months, hey grew huge and had an amazing dark black color with gold specs.

Once he got to big for the tank i gave him back to my bro and has since calmed down.
 
My first fish were Minnows I caught in a river when i was a little kid,the First fish I ever had from an LFS was a Red Betta.
