My dogs act like it doesn't even exist thankfully... The cat usually stays away from my reef tank but keeps bothering my little guys freshwater tank

my 3 cats don't pay attention to the tank my dog tries to eat my powder blue swimming past through the glass but other than that pays no attention

My rabbit likes to "help" me feed my fish. This sound odd but he's a 7lb house bunny (litter trained, sits on y lap, stands on his hind legs to be picked up and cuddled) when I stand by the tank and pick up food (fresh and reef tanks) he runs over so and does his pick me up dance. When I oblige he stays put in my arm while we feed the tanks and then gives his put me down wiggle after watching with me for a few minutes. Idk what he gets out of it but it's a routine that's been going on for 6 yrs+ now.

My cat seems to be obsessed with my diamond goby, couldn’t care less about the rest of the fish.

Just put some poops in the little box the first day I brought him home.. never had an issue.
For Halloween I dressed as a witch to take in trick or treaters, he was my stand in black cat. I'm allergic to dogs and cats so he gets treated much more like a cat/dog than most people's rabbits would. He'll sit with me like that on the porch and dosent run off and will come when I call him back etc

I bring my birds to it but they don’t seem to care and fly off of my finger or stay on my shoulder, looking away. And my dog doesn’t care much more other than the occasional a ‘fish swims fast and catches his attention’ or snapping at one if it’s right in front of him.
What birds?!

Dogs do NOT care whatsoever, it might as well be a wall to them. Cats will watch occasionally for a few minutes, but I can't get them to be consistently interested. I'm thinking the fish I have are too small to get their attention. :pleading-face:

As someone who has two cats that are curious about anything that possibly moves, I'm curious to see how everyone else's animals react toward their tanks!
One of my golden retrievers could care less about the tank. The other is very curious, and loves to put his paws up when I am feeding. I have a 600 gal. tank built into the corner of the basement, so there is absolutely no worry of him knocking anything over. He is also a "gentle giant" at 85 lbs, but you would never know it (unless his steps on your lap)!
