Your first tank...?

[TTTT]

Alot of people I know started fishkeeping by getting a small tank and picking out random fish. What was your first tank and was it decent or just awful? Mine was:

6 gallon bowfront (The kind with the filter up in the hood)
Filtered, no heater
2 angelfish
2 common pleco :
1 neon tetra
1 comet
1 zebra danio
1 clown loach

I know... it was awful... but I was like 5. And think about it, you gotta start somewhere

3 ID Sharks at 6'', Common Pleco, 2 Barbs, 4 Rosy Reds (that were never fed on like I intended) in a 29 gallon...heated at least....lol That was only temperary though for like 2 months

I was probably 14 or so and I had a 55g with one Oscar. Heated, UG filter and I was actually pretty good about water changes. My only mistake really was using a lot of feeders. He picked up an infection from one and kicked the bucket.
