    Well I hope this is in the right section if not sorry. Well I was at pet smart the other day was browsing the clearance sections like always and I came across this 2 gallon setup for $25 bucks. I figured id get it and if anything I'd put it up for later use or sell it. Well that didn't happen I couldn't resist not doing anything with it so I decided it could be a daddy daughter project for me and my 3 year old. I had a few ideas on what I could do with it and ultimately decided on doing a freshwater setup. I've always liked the look of underwater plants and I wanted it to be low maintenance and inexpensive. So me and her washed some sand and got it filled with rodi water. Tomorrow I'm going to take her to pick out a fish or 2 and I'm going to pick out a plant or 2 for it. So has anyone else done a tsnk like this with their son or daughter?

    Well this is what we ended up with. She picked out 3 neon tetras and I picked out a couple plants I thought looked cool.
