Your first ever tank.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My first tank was 55gal Truvu and the first fish that went in there was a Yellow Lab. Luckily for me, I stayed on top of the cycling process and all was well! That electric lab lived for another 7yrs. Before I knew it, that tank was full of Africans....and I have had the fever ever since!
 
In middle school I had a 5 then 10 gal tank that I kept an assortment of little fish in. I actually put my first oscar in the 10. before that it was goldfish bowls and Kmart goldies.:)
 
I started out with a 5 gallon I got from petsmart with guppies & mollys just about 1 1/2 year ago. Now I have 1 240, 2 120, 1 75g/2 60G/1 55g/1 30g and i'm looking to buy another 200+. :)
 
40 Years ago I had a chrome framed 10gal. with UGF and a cheesy air pump with a splitter valve to run both risers...

I had Gouramis, neon tetras, swordtails, chinese algae eater...

I remember the incandescent light bulbs in that chrome metal hood...
 
A 10 Gallon with 2 5'' bullheads in it. lol.. No lid, I did have a light and a intank filter that had an airpump in it, something like a wetdry if I remember right. Whiteish gravel and a NO FISHING sign..haha
 
i had a 20 gallon no filter no gravel no hood and with a gold fish somebody gave me at halloween did water changes with the garden hose i was 4 years old kept it right next to my window so i could pour the water outside when i did the changes.

I restarted the hobby when i was 16 and got my first job bought a 10 gallon full setup i remeber i was soo thrilled to have a Real filter and real lighted hood for the first time, it was mindblowing. 8 years and 7 tanks later my fish are bigger then my cats. But i have the cats only to have somebody watch the fish with me.
 
my first tank i got about a year and a half ago. it was 110 gallons and it is in my room. i got my friends gt and pleco and i bought an oscar for it. now it contains a diff gt, festae, carpinte, 2 cons, salvini, a rhino plec, royal plec and an albino bristlenose plec... and a spotted pictus. i also have a 180 now.
 
mine was a one gallon with a under gravel filter and 2 guppies that had babies bout 5 years ago
