What was the first fish you ever bought?

[i3k]

My first fish was columbian sharks (catfish). Was rather an uneducated purchase. However, out of the 5 that I purchased over 12 years ago, I still have two swimming in my 100gal.

My first fish was an axolotl if that counts and my last was a falco hawkfish

 

[Ndefil]

I think it was a bleeding heart tetra

First: a few crappy damsels
Last: Celestial, longfin panther, and glow light danios.

The difference between cycling salt and fresh... Damsels are garbage, jerk fish and I was glad when I finally caught and removed them for my tanks. Danios are nosy, but at least they're generally peaceful.

Horned nerites? Do you have a picture? I've never even heard of those, are they different than normal nerites?

I know you weren't asking me- but here's a couple pictures of my horned nerite. In the second picture you can see him next to my regular nerite. I believe they are the same species, their shells just grow these spikes on them.

Way cool, thanks, I'll have to keep my eye out for them.

My first was bought as a birthday surprise present from my (ex) wife - an Oscar in a 5 gallon tank. He ended his days in a 150gallon tank after many upgrades.
My last fish bought were 5 red Phantom Tetras, still my quarantine hotel awaiting the big release to meet their 50+ friends.
