My 2 year old girl will fill the guppie-breeder with cottonwool, spoons or take out all the plants.
She even fed them the pieces of the foamcover that was on my speakers.
I just can't wait until she can reach the top of my monstertank.....

Padlock the top??

The kids have a strict rule to not go near my tanks - they can look but cannot touch!

Last Saturday my boyfriend and I decided to get his 7 year old daughter a fish tank from her birthday money.

We got to the shop and we got her a 14g tank to keep little guppies in.
At home I got it all set up for her, got the gravel all clean and it was all nicely sorted out.

Then yesterday as my boyfriend and I were sitting outside have a cigarette we hear her screaming for us from her bedroom. It was the kind of scream that makes you panic. We thought something happened to her brother so we ran into her room.

I was not quite prepared for the sight... there is her tank, gushing out water. There is water everywhere... its under the bed, under the floor, and trying to creep out the bedroom door.

The tank is still half full at this point so I rush over to see if ti was a broken seal - hopefully it'll stop gushing. Nope.

She wanted to move a rock around her tank and dropped it causing a major hole at the bottom.

So there I am desperately trying to catch the poor little fish that are very quickly running out of water. I get them into a bucket and put them straight away into my 14g grow out which is housing 2 small convicts at the moment.

It took us a good hour and half to clear up the water - we had to pull up the floor and remove all the furniture.

So the lesson learned... Never leave kids alone with a fish tank.
Needless to say, I think she learned a bigger lesson as she will not be getting a new one from us any time soon.

thats hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good thing you didnt get her a monster tank.(anything larger than a 125)
 
when i was 9 or 10 my lil bro and i were jumping on the bed and play fighting. i pushed him while he was in mid air and he fell backwards, his head smashing right through our 10 gal we had on the dresser. luckily, my bro didn't have a scratch but the fish came pouring out all over the floor. if i remember correctly, we saved most or all the fish, but it definately tought me a lesson.
