Then I got a 75 Gallon FREE from my brother in law got rid of my goldfish and am now keeping livebarers, So giving them away to get some angels and something else not sure what yet.

I got my first goldfish when I was 2. I broke my leg and they bought me 2 of them to look at when I stayed in the hospital. One of them lived for 8 years.

Now I've 34 and very addicted. Got a 55G in the wall, 20G brackish, 40G housing a rescued tilapia, 10g with a goldfish.....more tanks to come.

I'm 26, I got my first fish when I was 11 years old. My parents got me two goldfish (Named Sonic and Tails ) with a large tank for Christmas. I had goldfish for about 7 years and then I stopped. At the beginning of this year I wanted to get into tropicals so I bought a tank in February, I'm now addicted and recently got a new bigger tank a few weeks ago.

im 14, and ive been keeping fish for about 8 years.
started with a few gold fish, i was stupid then, i gave them a bowl! I so badly regret my mum buying my fish where i was 6, me not knowing how to look after them.
but since about the age of 8 (one or two goldfish later) i uped to a 15l tank with proped filtration and had 2 goldfish and 4 white cloud minnows (the last one died today )
only recently did i swap to a 30l biOrb which i have found very amusing, the fish look so much beiiger than they are.
and one month ago i got a 52gallon planted tank, only just finished cycling! 6 Odessa Barbs now live in my living room.
