Are kids interested in our tanks

I have a 5 and 3 yr old that really enjoy the tank more then I thought they would. My daughter always tries to explain the fish to her friends and it is funny to hear her pronounce things. Here they are having fun before I added water to my bundle of joy......or should I say bundle of $$$$$$

 

Yeah bundle of $$$. I don't think there is anybody who tried their hand at this ever regretted it. Failures maybe, but no regrets....Atleast I think so.

Cute pic!

 

I love tanks and Im 14 and I had my first bigger (55gallon) tank when I was 12. All my friends make fun of me but I don't care. I actually cry ever single time when one of my fish die. I don't know if its just Im weird or I like my fish that much I don't know. But I guess some people like tanks, some just don't care its what ever your into.

 

^ same here, except that im only 2 years behind you in terms of tank size (got 55 gal 8 9 months ago....)

 

My kids love the tank. They notice every little thing that was either added or changed. My daughter helps out with the top-off and my son is my tank sitter whenever I go away on business trips.

The best part of this is the look on their face as they gaze into the tank almost in a hypnotized state.

It's a truly great education for them. Teaches them appreciation and respect for life.

Cheers!

 

and respect for $$$..........

 

Yup!

 

you should have left that 265 empty and used it for "behavioral purposes" lol

 

Just so long as they don't think of feeding the fish Cheatos, I think I can get by with them being reef safe...

Heck that is all they wanted to do was play in the tank for the next couple of weeks.
