Took my 9 year old to the LFS on Saturday and was really amazed to hear him ask
For ottos
Ask how long they had been in the shop?
What they eat? Have you seen them eat that?
When did they last eat?
Are there any fish they shouldn't be kept with?
What size tank do they need?
How long can they stay in that bag?
Will they be warm enough if we take a long time to get home?
How many can I keep in a 90 tank?
He also looked at mountain minnows and asked what temperate means? Then said he wants a betta so could they stay together minnows if like cool water?
I wish more children would ask questions and then maybe less goldfish would end up swimming tiny tanks.
He's also planning his plant list but £2.50 per week means he makes do with my surplus
Felt so proud of him.
