I didn't have fish when I was a kid, because my mom hates fish. She still does, and when she comes over to my house, she won't even look at my goldies!

My first tank was back in the early 90's, I remember having a cory, and 2 kissing gouramis, and there were a few others, but I don't remember what. The cory and gouramis lived for a long time , over 7 years. Not bad for my first tank. But I do remember messing up and adding a male betta to my community tank I didn't know better at the time, and he didn't last long.

I have been around fish and fish ranks almost all my life. My mom always kept a tank in the house, wether it was goldfish in bowls to neon tetras in 10 gallons to synidos catfish in 5 gallon tanks. My first fish was a synidos catfish in a ten gallon tank. His name is mud and he is 8 years old. He is currently living in the bottom of my pond.

Sadly I had a goldfish in a bowl before I knew any better... but that was more than 20 years ago...

A blackmore and a comet. The blackmore lived for years - he outlived 2 comets.

My first fish was a Betta that I got at a summer camp; my sister got one too. We got them in lily vases. I named mine Legolas...I actually felt bad he lived in the vase so I got him a one gallon tank with a UGF. My sister's died less than a year after we got them probably of constipation because she'd forget to feed him and then over feed him to make up for it. I don't know what Legolas died of but he lived for more than a year...which I know now isn't very good either, but at the time I thought he seemed happy.
Now my bettas are in a nice heated and filtered tank

Betta was my first ever fish and mostly everyone's. If you don't have a goldfish, you have a betta. If you dont have a betta then you have something else.
