We had a little 3 gallon hex with three Neons and an Oto cat. Then I got my first tank when I was about 4. It was a 10 gallon and had zebra danios, cherry barbs, neons, Harlequin rasboras and a few other things. It was way overstocked, but lots of those same fish lived a long time. One of the zebra danios lived about 6 years. Since then I have only gotten more and more tanks.
 
Many moons ago when I was with a girlfriend whose father was retired loved to go around and collect junk,he gave me an old metal framed tank that he had found.The tank must have been a 30 gallon,we kept it at her house and never got a lid for it.One night I stayed over and I had a six inch wolf fish in the tank and the next morning there was the wolf fish on the bottom of the tank with a mouse's back legs and tail sticking from its mouth.
 
My first aquarium, actually yet exists , was an 80liter aquarium with 1 oscar and 1 claria. It was about 10 years ago. Great memories :P
 
a baby biorb, 4 gal., 2 white cloud minnows and 2 long-finned leapard danios. I think the first white cloud is still alive, too. and that was last year. yeah, I'm a noob. :p
 
This is a cool post, but in addition to, how about what was the first tank that you set up independantly?

My folks have always been pretty supportive, i think they have always had a great deal to do with all my set-ups. But im awaiting my new 75"x18"24", it will be my own completely independant set-up. What about yourself?

Haha thats cool though, your everyday milestone reminder eh. See ive never taken much to minnows or the likes. The closest i ha was when i was like 6 and used to catch sticklebacks in jam jars, they were a short lived 6 day pet lol
