Kids, high traffic and Aquariums
Avioid areas of high traffic such as hallways, entranceways, kitchens, and so on are not good places for your aquarium. Constant movement along the tank’s glass also tends to keep many species of fish continually spooked. Fear leads to stress. Stress leads to disease. Disease leads to death. This is a very simple but all too frequent pattern.
As mentioned in a previous article place them in the corner where you and the fish can relax and destress without having to worry about people moving around.
Fire and water dont mix and at times kids and aquariums dont mix too. Well sometimes anyhow.
When you have young children in your home, you childproof rooms by locking up chemicals, putting away sharp objects, and hiding anything that can harm them. You need to do the same thing with your aquarium. If you have young children, place the aquarium where the kids have hard time getting at it, such as on top of a large cabinet-style stand in an area you’re in frequently. Make sure your freshwater aquarium is on a solid stand that will not move easily if someone bumps into it. If your family spends most of its time in the family room, that’s a great place to have the aquarium so that you can keep a close eye on it when your children are near.
Not all kids are bad, my seven year old does all the water changing,feeds and general cleaning and all I have to do is supervise and drink coffee….
