got any good/bad/scary stories?
 
my daughters and all of the kids in my neighbor hood love to come and see my tanks,only problem is tiny finger prints all the time.
 
My family owns a coffee shop and my mom still won't let me put a massive predator tank in there with a sign "Misbehaving children will be used as fish food."
 
I was about 6 when I first got interested in fish and I was in my mentors way almost every day trying to learn. He bred angels, bettas, kribs, neons, etc. I'm sure I was a nightmare when I think back but he did build me my own tank and gave me stock, pumps and other gear. He took me to auctions, I won my first fish auction when I was 6. It was a bag of endlers for £1 and a bag of panda corydoras for £6, which was a lot of pocket money back then. I was proud as punch because I beat everyone. Now I am older I know that no one wanted them and thats why I got them but the memory is there.
My nephew is 9 and he loves my fish. So many questions when he is around.
My other neice's and nephews who don't live near us love fish too. My father in law has a tank that they get their sticky fingers over. Glad it is not my tank lol.

Fingerprints and tapping are probably the worst thing.
 
the guy i got my 30 gal from said he stopped using it because his kids dumped a bowl of pudding in the tank... haha
 
My friend's little nephew grabbed a betta out of it's tank and put it in a cup of pepsi.. and I think it actually survived that incident lol
 
According to my mom7n when I was 2 or 3 I dumped a bag of flour in one of the tanks and cranked up the heAter all the way
 
I had a sliver aro and oscar Long time ago
My bro (5) banged the dam tank and aro pushed the lid up and... aro went flying on to the floor :(
Dam...:l
