When I was 19, I started out with a one gallon tank with one black skirt tetra........within a week I had a 10 gallon and within less than 2 months had 2 30 gallon tanks, 1 25 gallon tanks, 1 18 gallon (tall) tank, 2 ten gallon tanks, and several bettas in various small tanks.

Yeah, I was addicted from the start and 12 years later, I still am!

common goldfish. got killed by a fancy goldfish which then starved.

my first tropical fish were ( all in a 10 gallon only set up for one day. sorry) 2 swordtails (one got stuck under a rock, the other was killed by a betta), 2 danios (i have 1, 1 got eaten by something), 2 neons (died), 1 honey gourami( died a few months ago of bacterial infection)

I had 4 goldfish and 1 betta, one of the goldfish is huge now, and Ive only had him for a year. i had fish in the past, but I dont remeber them, so they just dont count.

My first fish - feederfish from walmart (not a discusting one)
Second fish - five painted glassfish in a 2 gal
Third fish (and first survivor) - A betta that lived until a friend who was fishysitting forgot him in his car overnight.

=============================================================
Two years later, and still considering all the other fish "bad luck"...
1st - A molly and a tiger barb in a 1 gal
2nd - 2 guppies in a 5 gal (finally learning about cycling)
3rd - 2 zebra danios (eventually 3) in a 5 gal, and these guys survived

Started with 3 goldfish in a bowl.

Gave them away and got tropical tanks, I now have 3 other goldfish and no, they are not in a bowl lol.

Far as I know they are still alive hehehe.

WOW! Did everyone start with a gold fish of some sort? I've never had a gold fish but I did stock up a few fancy goldfishies and I loved them all till the tank got too big.
