It's an old thread, but a goodie
My son (age 4) has always liked fish and we decided to get him a 20 gallon for his room. We came home with Bio-Spira (thank GOD!), a 20 gallon tank, 3 silver dollars (uh oh) and 2 tiger barbs.
Then we bought a betta fish and a 2.5 gallon explorer.
Then I learned about this place and starting reading and researching.
Then I almost croaked when I realized just how big the dollars would get.
Then I bought a 10 gallon with platies.
Then I bought a Eclipse 6 and put the betta in there.
My best buddy, Kahless (sable-headed white merle rough coated collie) had to be put down, and my husband bought me a 36 gallon bowfront to cheer me up.
Then I bought a school of Boesemani rainbows for the 36g and fell in love with rainbowfish.
Then we bought a 2.5 gallon All-Glass and anther betta fish.
Then I bought 2 red cap red oranda's for my sons room and put them in QT.
The I bought another 10 gallon tank to use for yet another QT
Then we bought THREE 75 gallon tanks for rainbowfish and 1 65 gallon tank for the silver dollars that are too big for the 20 gallon.
AND we also bought, at the same time as the above, a 92 gallon corner tank for my husband's basement office so he can start a reef tank
Last, but not least (I'm sure), I bought a 5 gallon hex as a small grow-out tank
Does it EVER end?
