My first was a 1.5" Gibby i picked up for my 20 long about 15 years ago. needless to say i had to upgrade after about 6 months. my first fancy was a royal of some sort, in retrospect i would say maybe an L190? about 10 years ago i would say.
No sadly not, he ended up getting some kind of infection and at that time i'd only been keeping fish for 2-3 months (4 years ago) and didnt have a clue. It wasnt all bad i suppose as that's how i found PF, 100s more plecs and most of you! lmaolovely plec to have full stop, let alone as a first.
do you still have it?
My first was a 183 I got in August last year
I was bitten by the bug and now I've got three of them
