Do you remember your first fish?

Mine was a very tiny clown trigger. He was the coolest little fishy in the west. I had him in a 55 gallon. This was around 2000ish...if I recall.

I believe mine was a Talbots damsel or a yellow tail blue devil. I can't remember anymore lol. This was around 3-4 years ago.
The Talbots damsel was awesome. I'm definitely getting one if I don't end up with a scorpionfish tank!

Mine was a maroon clown around 2000. He's a she now and with her partner have been banned to their own cube due to aggressivity issues !

First salt fish was in 2008, I was working at a pet store that only carries freshwater, a customer came in with an occy clown from Petco still in the bag, and wanted to know how to care for it. They thought it could live in a bowl and didn't want to set up a tank for it. I ended up buying it off them for $5, and picking up a 5 gallon tank, a bag of live sand and one chunk of live rock and setting up a tank for him after work. First salt tank and first fish. He lived a few years with me in progressively larger tanks, and I gave him away when I moved to NC.

Mine was a yellowtail damsel and black and white damsel. I will never own another damsel.

Jeweled Damsel, 55 gallon circa 1990, used as a seed fish and made it. Toughest and baddest fish I've ever owned even after being moved to a 125 predator tank. He was over 4" when I sold the setup when I moved, I had him eight years.
