How long were they all in there?
my parents always had fish tanks when i was growing up. we had a 90 gal corner tank with pirannas that lived for what seemed like foreverrrr. and my parents had another 55 in their room for a bit i cant remember what was in there..
but my very own first setup (besides some tadpoles i found outside in a puddle i nurtured back to health and then our house got broke into and the a-holes knocked down that tank) was betas and the good ol' state fair goldfish.
once i moved on my own my first setup was a 55gal with a a little 3" RBP named paco. he still lives not with me anymore hes over a foot long now. i still have that 55 and 2x 75's, a 120 & a 180.

6 yrs old, goldfish bowl, one goldfish, benjamin. Then, a 10 gallon with white clouds. A 20 high with natives came along at about 8. I had three white catfish, or maybe black bullheads, a golden shiner, and a warmouth or two. After that, I took a hiatus. Then a 10 in college. Then a 15 high. then a 55. then 3 more 55's, a 37 sw, a 20 long turtle, a 70 custom built, a 60 breeder, a 2, 2.5, 5.5 and a couple more tens. Then a fire. Lost everything but 2 55's, the 2, 2.5, 5.5 and 1 ten. I had ocellaris and percula clowns breeding, turning out several hundred a month. Insurance didn't cover that because "an addition made to the house after the initial insurance is issued is not covered unless the insurance company inspects the property and re-evaluates it." Was PO-ed. Didn't realize that setting up a fishroom constituted an addition.
i think i started off when i was like age 8 10 gallon with goldfish because my dad bought some. planning for 200+ gallon or pond in the future once i buy a house lol
Started with a little glass bowl and a blue and black crowntail betta when I was 8ish lol....Then I got a 10 gallon with some dwarf gouramis and 3 glowfish a few years ago...Now I have a 55gallon with a red wolf and gold nugget and I'm always thinking bigger and better =)
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.
My first fish tank wasn't until after I got married-- my wife wanted something fuzzy, but her parents had had fish when she was young, so we compromised on that. Did LOTS of research, and decided a 55 was the best tank to start out in-- stable ecosystem, small enough to fit in our tiny apartment, and large enough to get some cool fish.
Now we've got a 150, 46 corner, 18, 25 gallon growout tub, and adding a 6' tank for our brackish fish after we move in two weeks.

A 55g with a lone red oscar. He never got the chance to outgrow it because I was like 14 and the internet wasn't what it is now, so I didn't know much about about quarantining feeders. He got up to a good (very thick) 7" though. Great fish and what originally got me into monsters.
