I have two kids. My oldest doesn't really take any interest in the hobby, but my 2 year old does. She loves sitting in the chair and watching the tank with me. Anytime the cabinet door is open she's in there poking around and looking at stuff. This is an older picture, but I was in the middle of a water change and turned around to see this:
I love this hobby.
Yes it is. We have 2 dobermans, even though the male that we adopted is trying to eat his way to becoming a rottweiler...
My 3 year old micro manages me everytime I clean the tank and let’s me know if I am doing a good job or if I missed a spot with the syphon or when the glass needs cleaning. I’m sure he will be looking to take my job soon so that I get to sit back and enjoy the tank while he cleans it in the future.
Yeah, kind of like a "you cant have this" so it makes them want it more lolNooooooo!
Well if little ones include cats, mine can watch the skimmer indefinitely. Who am I to judge, I’m usually sitting right next to her. It’s like watching a campfire.
My 8 year old is really into it, can tell you differences between tangs, whether a fish is reef safe, and why macro algae is important. Here he is at Reefapalooza - you might recognize the other guy.
My kids, adults but for one have learned alot from me and when I offer them a free tank and setup I get an immediate NO! But this one is a Reefer...my granddaughter
My wife and granddaughter, enjoying the bait fish school at Bass Pro's World of Wildlife.
She loves my tank, but this thing just mesmerized her.
