What was your first tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
20L - was a hand down. Had a sweet metal frame and fogged over glass with a box of carbon and an airstone. (All we knew back then for filters.)
 
5 gallon standard glass tank. Tetras, etc. usually. I think unfortunately at one point I had 2 Firemouths in that little thing as well, I was a pretty young kid at the time.
 
My first tank was a 10 gallon acrylic tank with a terribly designed built-in UGF stocked with an oranda, a waterdog (larval tiger salamander), a betta (aka waterdog snack), and a figure 8 puffer. That did NOT turn out well. lol

Before that I had a cup with a betta when I was about 2 and then a few years later a crayola crayon "tank" that held a couple gallons which I stocked with first 7 comets and later an albino ACF (who grew so big he got stuck between the UGF uplift tube and the side and drowned), but I don't count those as tanks
 
77 Gallon Hagen Tank lol.
I had firemouths dempseys rams danios and tetras haha.
It was runned by a Fluval 404.

Now theres two Parachromis Dovii in there and it's still runned
on the 404, but now it has a 304 and a Aquaclear 300 on it.
 
standard 10gallon package deal.. bunch of fake plants, neon tetras, star wars figures and hotwheels..
 
20 gallon with a bala shark, 2 gouramis, and a red tail shark. rocked the package deal that i got from petsmart. unfortunately non of those fish made... the bala shark almost til he bailed out of a bucket whikle moving him and my dog put a hole in him... whoops
 
A used 2 gallon and "used" guppies I got from my great aunt. She kept a 40 gallon in her greenhouse. It was full of anacharis and guppies. When she gave them to me it was winter and the fish were almost frozen! There was ice on the top of the tank! She just told me to keep the bag of fish in my hands and they would warm up and be OK. They were! Guppies are extremely hardy. At least the ones I had back then!
 
My 1st tank was about 2 feet... lol...
 
a empty animal crackers container with guppies for science class was my official first. but the first decend was a 15 gallon with neons
