Aquarium Advice FINatic
So for a living i baby sit n my hubby works for ups. Well 2 of the kids i watch are my hubbys god babies. I watch them 730-6 mon-fri. The little girl is 4 and she loves to help me with my tanks. I was on vaca last week and when i came back monda the little girl came down stairs and says to me "girlfriend i have been waiting for you to come back for days so i could help you clean your tank please tell me you waited for me to do it?" So since she likes it so much my hubby and i talked to her mom about getting her a tank and i told her id do all the cleaning and what not. She agreed to to nothing more than a 55. This little girl love to use the gravel vacumm and get the "yuckes" out. And she makes me only fill some bucket a lil so she can carry it. And she even knows they only get a little food. She has a 5g planted betta tank. But it dont hold her interest ever since the betta killed her shrimp. So we are thinking about getting her a 50g with 2 angels, 2 gbr, 2 br, and a sucker mouth (pleco) thinking a gold nugget but undecided yet. And a 150$ gift card so she can pick out her own gravel decor ex. I am so happy that she is not just wanting the fish but also wellig to do the work. She`s even picked up on "sickly fish" at the stores the one day she say girlfriend look at this tank they have them white dots u warned ali about dont buy them please. She has had a hand in stocking all my tank other than my kids tanks (they pick their own fish). She tell me everyday after lunch ok let go feed the fishys befor they starve. And her mom is extreamly excited that she loves animals and the resonsobility that they come with. Sorry for long story but i love when kids are willing to do the work n not just the fun part
