I have a 4 month old son and absolutely loves fish and aquariums. Ever since he was a new born I would sit in front of my tanks and watch the fish with him till he fell asleep. Now he gets upset when I move him from in front of my tank he sits in his swing pretty much all day watching the fish. He also loves the movie finding nemo. I want to teach him about aquariums same as my father did with me.
How many other have done or will do this with their kids?

Awesome man, I have a 5 month old son and we do the same thing. Any time he is upset I take him in front of my 125 and he immediately calms down. Its the coolest thing to watch him follow the fish around with amazement. I cant wait for him to get old enough to help out and pick out his own fish.

It is awesome to see he likes something I've had a passion for as long I could remember.

my 4 month old daughter does th same thing from the time she could move her head she watches the id sharks go from one side to the other.....

actually thats how i got to set up another 55 gallon because my catfish tank was not active enough lol
so the wife approved another bigger tank

and my 5 year old loves picking her fish out for that tank... its got a bunch of fish throwed together in there (all compatable tho)
its like taking her to the park when we go to the LFS,
