What was your first fish

[UnknownFishies]

What was your first fish? Was it some tetras? What about a betta? Mine was a Betta named Lucky.

My first fish was a Walmart bought male Veil Tail Betta names “Zen”. (That’s where the “Z” comes from in my name)

My first fish were Fancy Guppies. I had a breeding colony.

Wr had fish when I was little but I don't remember what kind. My first personal fish was a betta named Twinky

I had a goldfish when I was 3/4, called Dickov...

My first fish was a female betta named Glory. She was an Elephant Ear from Petco, and my favorite of all the fish I have had

My first fish were 4 fairground goldfish that my children won - before I had a tank

But once they grew too big and we rehomed them to someone with a pond, I bought a heater and neon tetras.

Trout fry I caught from a river backwater when I was a kid. They didn't last long, but I was hooked.

I used to be an avid fisherman. I don’t know if Fishkeeping sort of extinguish that flame? Or I just lost interest. Either may, I don’t fish much anymore.

I can’t remember exactly but I think I started with swordtail, discus and common pleco, you know fish store.

When I was a kid I had a few gold fish. They never lived long.

Then when I was 15 I persuaded my mam that I could look after a "real" fish tank. I got one for my 16th. A jewel rio 120l with a built in filter and heater chamber. I loved it. I had no idea what I was doing but I did my best.

I filled it with sand. And some cool blue pebbles and a led bubble that had a blue light on it.

My first fish for that was 3 gold fish i was told to put in to "get the filter ready". Then I found this place. I rehomed the goldfish to a friends pond and started my fishless cycle.

After that. My first add was zebra danios cos I knew they were Hardy and I wanted I wanted be extra extra sure my cycle was done. I left the hobby when I left home and didn't have space for a tank. But I recently bought a new tank (240l) and my first fish for that was a bunch of guppies!

Good question! I had 6 neon tetras and two zebra angelfish!

No, that was an accident. I have never killed a deer in my life.

I personally could never kill anything... if I see blood, I faint. Simple as that

I couldn’t kill an animal or person. Just not in me. Saw enough blood in my nursing days though. Rather deal with blood than vomit any day. Lol!
