Your First Ever Set-up

[cichlid fiend]

My first attemp was a 55 long but when my wife and I was cleaning it, it slipped and shattered in are bath tub. So really my first setup was a 56g tall brought from pet smart. It's stock included 2 LMB,bluegill,longeared sunnis, and a small yellow perch. I'm at work rite now and will post pics of it later when I get home. That was about a year ago and now I have a 90g and 55g. My stock includes 4 pikes,mayan,GT,blk belt,CL,RTM,blue acuara,rope fish, and one geo Bal.Plus I have a very nice vieja sym. in my cousins 120g.

here are the pics of my first tank

I don't know how big the tan kwas, but when I was like 7 I used to keep goldfish and catfishes.

an oscar and buttikoferei in a 20 gal. soon after i got rid of the butti and got my 72 gal. when my oscar was maybe 9" i think i really messed him up keeping him in that 20 gal because he didn't live too long after.
