    I feel ya, almost did a small saltwater, but I want him to learn and like fish, and a 5g saltwater tank is not a good tank for a 8 year old to learn with;) but yeah, i feel ya;)

    Great little starter tank.

    My daughter started with something similar and has graduated to a 10 gallon with two goldfish. Have to "remind" her to keep it clean and change out the filter media, but I'm sure it's lessons learned that she will take with her if/when she starts her own aquarium someday. I'm sure your son will do the same. :)

    How many different animals are you up to now, Cosmo?

    2in10 is right. I'm sure you could make some good money if you just turned your house into a zoo :lol:
