Hmm... let me see what I can do here...

Betta Splendens (male and female)
Golden Zebra Danios
Guppies
Corydoras trilineatus
Corydoras Agassizii
Corydoras panda
Black Neon Tetras
Otocinclus
Rosy (or neon rosy) barb
BN plec

My eldest fish is Liberty, a betta, and he'll have been with me two years come next month. I've only kept larger tanks (and more fish) for a year and a half.

Anyway, that gives me ten species, unless I've missed some. Not terribly easy to keep many species of fish when you've got four tanks (not including betta tanks)... 20 gallon long, 12, 10, 5. I need more (bigger!) tanks!

The ones I can remember are, from my teenage years upwards:

Clown Loach Chromobotia macracantha
Kuhlii Loach Pangio kuhlii
Gold Platy Xiphophorus maculatus (first fish I bred)
Glowlight Tetra Hemigrammus gracilis
Silver Tip Tetra Hemigrammus nanus
Nannostomus trifasciatus
Angel Fish Pterophyllum scalare (spawned)
Flying Fox Epalzeorhynchus kallopterus
Bronze Cory Corydoras aeneus
Kribensis Pelvicachromis pulcher
Anomalochromis thomasi
Skunk Loach Botia horae
Zebra Danio Danio rerio (first egglayer I had spawning)
White Cloud Mountain Minnow Tanichthys albonubes
Sarasa Comet Goldfish Carassius auratus
Chinese Algae Eater Gyrinocheilus aymonieri

Since the startup of my Panda Fun Palace™ in 1994, I have had these (ones marked with a * are current inmates):

Venezuelan Ram Papiliochromis ramirezi
Siamese Algae Eater Crossocheilus siamensis
Cardinal Tetra Paracheirodon axelrodi *
Otocinclus mariae *
Three-Lined Corydoras Corydoras trilineatus
Bolivian Corydoras Corydoras bolivianus
Pygmy Corydoras Corydoras pygmaeus
Dainty Corydoras Corydoras habrosus
Chaetostoma wuchereri
Lemon Tetra Hyphessobrycon pulchripinnis *
Rummy Nosed Tetra Hemigrammus bleheri
Panda Corydoras Corydoras panda *
Beckford's Pencil Fish Nannostomus beckfordi *

This list may be incomplete. These are the ones I can remember off the top of my head for the moment.

However, I've also helped out with a couple of older members of my local aquarist society when infirmity started to compromise their ability to perform labour-intensive chores, and through them I've added probably another 50-100 species to the list, including a brace of African Cichlids, various big Synodontis catfishes, the infamous Acanthicus adonis plec (whopping 3 foot specimen at that!) that the late Ted Derrick used to have, and it was through him that I was introduced to such delights as Barbus gelius (a real rarity among the Cyprinids) and Nannacara anomala. He was the person who also introduced me to my first Panda Catfish, and it was because of how delightful his Pandas were that I resolved to get some. I've never looked back since doing so

Well, let's see...

Well, not the most impressive of lists, I'm sure, but I think it's pretty good. I shudder to think what will happen when Toirtis or ACIDRAIN list all of theirs, though. I'm thinking of printing them out and reading them on my flight down to Florida next month; that should take up the flight and most of the wait for the luggage.

Edit: *smacks forehead* Forgot a few!
Clown Loach
Goldfish
Giant Danio
Zebra Danio
Pearl Danio
Neon Tetra
Cardinal Tetra

That is impossible. After over 33 years of keeping fish, I don't think I could even begin to remember. I have a hard time even remember all my kids birthdays at times]]]
