im daddystressed. im new to aquariums. i have a 100 gallon hexagon flat back acrylic aquarium. neon swordtails, peppered corys, albino bristol nose, marbled crayfish, true siamese algae eater, clown loaches, and a crap load of ramshorn snail in a heavily plant tank. all using a 55 gallon sump fitted with a bio ball cage, 36w uv sterilizer, lava rock in a homemade refugium area and 400 gallon tower protein skimmer(just in case i planned on going saltwater one day), 350 magnum canister with teo 150 phosban reactors. might be over kill for a freshwater aquarium but i wasnt sure what to expect so i just threw everything in there, just in case. did all this for my two kids. my son 4, and my daughter 6. it was oooh and ahhhh's for the first few weeks now they hardly notice it. but i still enjoy watching my fish. i just stare at it for for long periods of time. its soothing. so with all that said, i wanted to say hello to the community, and sorry for the looong intro.
hello!

My 7 year old is the same way. Always excited to get a new fish but a week later can't remember what it is. Have you tried having them name the fish? Might keep them a little more interested.
By the way welcome!
