    Hahaha tadpoles for the pond sound about like my daughter. Saw a spider in the garden yesterday and I told her what it was, she was trying to get it into a cup so we could keep it.

    @Gio went to a pet store last night to buy some floss and food. My daughter starts naming fish in the tank by the scientific name, the shop Keeper was like "she knows more than I do and I sell them" ended up walking out with two more fish. It was that or we buy a rabbit that looks like some Peter rabbit from Netflix

    They really have a mind of their own at this age.

    Since we've begun the year with online schooling she's with me all day. So I'm the teacher and trying to do my work at the same time. You know how hard it is to move from the cooler parent to the one who has to take charge

    nice, its good to just have one crazy tank that is super colorful and over the top, its like a night club for fish :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:. thats the fun of this hobby, you can basically create a little mini world and your subjects are the fish. lol

    Hi @Gio

    Welcome to the forum and this awesome addictive hobby

    I was offline this week and catching up here had a good laugh reading through your thread!!

    My little grand son is just over 2, still learning to talk properly but knows auwana and tingray!!
    Its awesome when the little ones take an interest as not only does it teach them to be caring but also educational

    @Shabir , hahha feel for you!!!
