I technically started with fish. In 2005, I started with bettas. I had 4 of them. One in a 3g, one in a 2g, and 2 females in two 1/2 gallon tanks. I seriously considered breeding betta fish but I lacked the space and my grandmother said "no." I then graduated up to a 20g long freshwater tank with tropical community fish (danios, tetras). I also set up a 20g long tank with 2 comet goldfish but I learned quickly that goldfish need lots of space. I also set up a 10g for the babies of my mollies. I had plans for more, but between school and work, I had no time for them.
I then began keeping herps but I have always wanted to get back into fishkeeping. I tried a 20g long saltwater but it got too expensive before I really got anywhere with it. I am going to get into fish again. I just need the space and time.....and money of course.
