My first fish was a red wag platy that we kept by itself in a 2 gallon glass bowl... It lived four years. Sadly, we went on vacation and the people watching the house forgot to feed him and do water changes... I came home and the tank was all cloudy and he was dead... I cried.
My first fish were: 2 mollies, and 2 bala sharks in an uncycled 5 gallon tank! (wow, thanks Walmart!) then went to tiger barbs (again, Walmart!) then I got a 20 gallon. Now, I still have my 20 gallon, and I have a 75 gallon with harlequin rasboras and some platies.
A Betta and 3 fancy guppy tank mates ... that my mom brought home one day (she knew less about fish than me) they did not live long... I cried when they died
A very colorful purple/red/blue/green betta fish. I named her Goldy, because she had so much purple. She was a trial pet for a cat I never got :/ She died 5 years later for unknown reasons. We buried her in the yard...
