Girlfriend tapping the glass

[Fruitbat]

Actually...put a metal trash can over her head and give it a couple of solid whacks with a stick. It will approximate what she's putting the fish through every time she taps on the glass.

its actually kind of true since fish are very sesitive to shock waves

Tell her that every time she taps on the window diminishes her chances of getting to name a fish (not sure if that works on adults, haha)

Or do everything listed in here in 1 day. Then she will get the picture

 

[Mr. Limpet]

Ever hear of a cussing jar? (.25-$1 every time you cuss)

Same idea, only call it a tapping jar. Put it on/near the tank and make her pay up, at least it'll cost her something to fulfill her obsession and you'll have cash for a new fish/filter, maybe a new DT if she's unwilling to cure her bad habit.

I told my son if he ever taps on the glass, he has to donate a Star Wars action figure to permanently guard the tank.

That probably only works when you struggle to keep the Force in balance like he does though. I like the trash can method for normal folks.

Couldn't help but thinking if you're having trouble with her on this.... what else could be down the road? Hmmmmm.

Lol that's hilarious

 

[Maya]

Tell her that intelligent people are able to follow simple instructions and then let her draw her own conclusions.

 

[austinsdad]

That sounds like a breakup coming after she throws something at him.

 

[Maya]

Lol! Well, I've never been one for beating around the bush. Not very subtle but effective.

my fish come up to see us when we put our fingers on the glass and they even follow our fingers around. However, we do not bang or loudly tap on the glass. We don't mind the finger prints either
