Fair goldfish, 7 in a 20 gal, but the first fish I bought were black mollies. Gee, I wonder why I liked those.

I've had goldfish since I was 4...started with about 7 in a 2 gallon tank. and then I added a betta...and wondered why I woke up every morning to see a dead fish or two...and then albino frogs seemed to do the same thing...and I also had 2 bettas in the same tank for a day before my mom asked n we got another bowl...wow looking back on that and what I know now...it's weird.




o btw...no more goldfish

when i got my betta, i think i was too young, and i dont really count it as my first fish.

I did get clown loaches, but we put them in the 55 gallon, which is my dads tank.

I would have to say 2 peppered corys, and 2 YoYo loaches.

I had some angels,two of which I still have from a year ago. Those were the strong ones that survived the cycle until I found fishprofiles to guide me in the correct direction. Yay!

My first must have been a rather large goldfish I kept in a bucket. I think I was around 6 or so. It either died or was taken away.

The first fishes that I had for the long term were 2 neon tetras, a small angelfish, two guppies, two bronze catfish, and two scissortail rasboras. I had them in a ten gallon tank. That might have been about a year later.
