i started with a goldfish i won at the fair. i cant remember it but my mum does, she says it was in a bowl.
my first tank (that i remember) was a 2x1.5x1, custom made for me by a family friend for my xmas, i got up on xmas morning to a fully stocked tropical freshwater setup. he used gravel from his own tank for the UGF so it was ready straight away. i had guppies, a male betta, neons and panda corydoras. surprisingly a mix that isnt supposed to work but all did fine until i got rid of the tank for moving to england. i even took over my sisters tank cos she lost interest. at 6 i was managing 2 tanks and cleaning them out nearly by myself, i was too small to carry buckets of water so my dad did it for me. but everything else was done by me.

oh lord. my first tank was a 55 gallon tank with 2 (yes two) oscars and a red devil. i dont remember doing many waterchanges-just when i thought it looked dirty.
Hey, i was 17 and quite ignorant on fishkeeping.. those poor fish.

.I recently set the ol' grl back up, 10 gallon unheated with extra filtration, 1/2" thick glass and fake plated. Going semi planted this time.
I started with a 1 gallon with a couple neon tetras and platys. Then got a 2 gallon (100% increase in water capacity! 
) Then a 10 gallon, then a 20 gallon.
Now I have a 55 and a 125.
