Tip of the Week

When child proofing a fish tank, there are two main concerns with toddlers and fish tanks- either that they will tip over the tank, or get into the water on the top. To prevent these, you need to ensure that the tank is secured to a non-tip stand, and ensure that the top of the tank is not easily opened. To be completely safe, it would be a good idea to either move the tank into a room where your child doesn´t go or not allow your child in the same room as the fish without an adult. Whenever your child is looking at the fish with an adult, teach him not to touch the glass, and only to look at the fish.
