Does any body still have their first fish?

[Flyaway_Firefly]

i havent got any of the 'first' ever tropical fish that i put in my very small tank....but i do still have one of my orginal 4 female mollies that i put in a year ago.

It maybe two, but ive got/had so many babies of the same colouring im not sure, the other two though im sure had a great live, one died of a old age problem i think, and the other died in a heatwave in my tank caused by the broken heater

I've never done anything special to keep my fish alive for this long. I don't overstock my tanks or overfeed. I would do water changes once a month if that.

 

[The FISH made me do it!]

I have a 6year old leopard danio.....but he wasn't my first fish....

I can't remember my first fish...I was in 1st grade, about 7 years ago. I vaguely recall a ten gallon with severum goldfish and cories We have a pleco and jewel cichlid from 7 years ago, but they're lucky62's


EDIT: I meant several, not severum Bet you can guess what I'm thinking about

I don't have my first fish. That would make it 20+ years old.

I did have a Black Ghost Knifefish for 7 years though that would eat from my hand.

My first Platy (peter) is still with me.

Just wanted to add that you've got one gorgeous platy there, Frank!

I have a pleco that my mom bought me for my first tank about a year and a half ago. Turns out it's a bristlenose!

Yes, one of my Tiger Barbs is the last survivor of the first fish I bought. Sadly his health is going downhill...

And last night, I had to put down my last Original Swordtail fry FROM my first Swordtail....she was over 3 years old, and has been declining over the past week or so. Last night she had lost the ability to swim upright, so I did the humane thing and let her go

my first fish died a few months ago... Peter R.I.P 16 and half yrs old...he was a goldfish, kept in a tank... I loved him to bits and miss him a lot
