Here are a couple of mine. . . I seriously knew NOTHING about anything when I first started this.

Here's my first tank (besides the little 1 gallon betta-bowl we all had when we were 5)
25 gal. hex

When I first got it from craigslist it looked like this:
LOL

Then I got a little bit smarter-er-er-er, and tried going for a more natural look...still a fail.

Then a few weeks later I bought ANOTHER tank from craigslist. This was a disater.
29 gallon

While I was filling up with water and before the fish:

Then I put in the fish:

This tank was so overstocked, it's not even funny (These were all the fish the lady had. I bought NONE). . . 30 jewel cichlids, 1 red zebra cichlid, 2 F8 puffers, 2 common plecs.




WOW. What a NOOB.

Now everybody post yours!
 
Not going to happen , that tank was back around 1963 . I do believe it had a metal frame :)
 
I'll try to post pics of mine as soon as I find them. Mine had blue gravel with all fake plants. Mine wasn't so overstocked, but I wanted more fish. Good things my parents were there to stop me.

My parents know nothing about fish. And I didn't either when I had those tanks. I didn't even know what 'overstocked' was. I researched A LOT while having those tanks...and even still research a lot now.
I just wish I could've had a parent (or relative) who knew the slightest thing about fish.

LOL, I've come A LOOONG way since then.
 
This is my first tropical tank.....(Had a salt water before, but the all died of ick, I was given the tank and nothing about it yet..:confused:..)

I don't have pictures of what it looked like... but it LOOKED okay...
I can tell you the stocklist...
2 weather loaches
5 black neon tetras (rehomed to me)
3 cories
2 kribs (rehomed to me, quickly rehomed FROM me)

doesn't sound so bad, right? ....it was a 10 gallon.
 
I do not know how to post a pic with a description so I will have to say it here:

First tank 55G
Then decided to wing the all natural look
Got a little better with the natural look
Turned into a Planted Freshwater Aquarium fanatic
