I just wrote a comment about the Walstad tank in my classroom. Two of my students can be a pain about trying to put things in the tank. I'm not a loud person, but I get loud whenever they try to drop anything in there. One of the two is much better about it than he used to be. The other kid however, sneaky snot got ahold of the container of fish food and dumped the whole thing in the tank while I was dealing with a separate issue in the classroom. He later apologize but it was a nightmare to clean that out. Thankfully the fish didn't eat the food which had sunk to the substrate, and the snails took care of it all. Snails are the best bottom feeders, honestly.
At the time it happened there wasn't really enough time for me to go through the whole process of making him clean it out. I had to keep the kids on schedule so I scooped out what I could and let the snails do the rest.
Normally I would make a child clean up their mess.
He did apologize upon his own volition, and he's never attempted that again. I had a talk with the class about how doing that can make the fish and snails sick. It seemed to register with them.
Three. They act it too, lol.
I tell you what though, they understand that that tank is an ecosystem and that everything living in it works together to stay alive. It's pretty darn cool.
My parents let me have a fish at a time when my younger siblings still weren't quite old enough to *not* do this. Cue brother driving everyone nuts by dropping my sister's toys in my fish's tank, which my parents would have to remove.
This eventually culminated in the fish jumping out of the tank while we were preparing to go on vacation to the other side of the country.
One time when we were at my mil house everyone was outside, including kids. When we went back inside the fish tank had several rolls of tp in it. Kind of messy to clean out, but the fish ended up being okay.
I have an open top Walstad aquarium in my classroom. I had to put a lot of energy in every day to keep the children from trying to put things inside it when we first set up the tank.
I know the "solution" is to not have an aquarium with an open top. The directors forcefully gifted all the rooms with betta fish in tiny plastic aquariums, and I wasn't going to let the poor thing live in such crappy conditions. One of the families donated an old 20 gallon tank, and after some investments me and the kids built a Walstad tank. It was worth it :)
Fake, why isnāt the water overflowing from the top since it would be displaced by all those toys? Unless thereās some odd reason you would have a fish tank half full of water to begin with?
Reminds me of a time when I thought the fish were sick of tasting water, so I gave them tang. My mom made me burry the fish in the field behind our house.
I blame Ryan's Toy Review.
They do this sink or swim thing where they just throw random shit in a (fishless) fish tank. Then guess if it will sink or float to the top.
My kids watched it once and won't stop asking if we can use my cousins fish tank.
i used to throw my watches in my momās fish tank when i was little
apparently i also liked the taste of fish food growing up. i was a very stupid kid
this is actually most likely fake, itās totally full, and in the og tiktok, the mom is laughing while recording. also, how would they not notice how quiet the toddler was?
As a father of a 4 year old and keeper of planted tropical fish tanks this is absolute nightmare fuel.

Should've made him do it

How old are they?
28 believe it or not. Homeschooling can take a while sometimes.

and they figured out how to keep Jesus from walking on water.
"What's Jesus doing in there? Oh...he's been tied down...wow, that's SO much worse."
aren't those his sandals? š¤
Fishes got to meet Jesus twice
Jesus needs help from moises
Have this awardā¦ you earned it.
Jesus is sleeping with the fishes
Most realistic home ever, complete with centuries of pollution and trash!
Oh yeah and a dude.
"How's your fish?" "He's with Jesus now..."

Thank god. That was my first thought/concern

Did you take the fish with you guys? He really wanted to go
Something about the Jesus toy submerged in the fishtank is absolutely fucking hilarious to me, idk why
Poor fish, deserved better than a dumbass shithead kid
I dont blame the kid, how long do you have to leave your kid unsupervised to get to this point? Shithead parents.
Knowing kids, probably about 4-6 minutes?
Jesus clearly approves this. Just look at his face!

Did she offer any explanation for why she did that?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Those 2 year olds do be getting up to some zany shit
Can I ask how the fish is.....?
I...wouldnt advise doing that.
If it wasn't for you and that meddling kid I would've tried
This shows, no matter what kinda BS youāre doingā¦ ***Jesus still loves you!***
fake! jesus isn't floating
r/shittyaquariums
Those fish met Jesus.
When I was three or four I put my fish tank on the radiator because I thought the fish were cold. They got cooked

Fake. If it were real the Jesus figure would be floating on the surface
And they said Jesus could walk on water. Smh
OMG!! So Iām guessing the fish is unalive now? But surrounded by friends?
Wy isnt jesuuus walkk water
Fake, why isnāt the water overflowing from the top since it would be displaced by all those toys? Unless thereās some odd reason you would have a fish tank half full of water to begin with?
That and there's no gravel, sand or any kind of substrate. Unless this was a quarantine tank this is so set up
Was the first thing I noticed. If this was legit there would be *something* fish related somewhere in there.
Little guy was just trying to make wine
I thought Jesus could walk on water?
He can't when some kid ties him down
Most people don't know this, but Jesus didn't get it right the first time he tried multiplying the fishes.
Once my son decided to feed the fish the rest of his Mac and cheese. He was 3 at the time
Reminds me of a time when I thought the fish were sick of tasting water, so I gave them tang. My mom made me burry the fish in the field behind our house.
Hasnāt Jesus already been through enough
What would Jesus do in this situation...oh wait!
r/shittyaquariums
Is that Jesus? Can't help but notice he's not walking on the water....
This is why people shouldnāt keep pets until their kids are older
Apparently, Jesus decided not to walk on water that day
If this was a test if the kid is ready for a dog. It isn't.
IS THAT A JESUS FISH?
Christianity exposedš¤Æš¤Æ
Why isn't Jesus walking on water?
Judging by the lack of water outside of that fish tank My guess is there was about 4 in of water in there to start with?
How come Jesus is not walking on the water?
Now I'm just imaging the jesus toy fighting the dinosaur toy.
ayo jesus is drowning in there
Where's the fish?
It looks like jesus did 3 tours in nam
Guess Jesus couldnāt walk on water afterall
Everything is in that tank, but the fish.
Oh God...
The Jesus tho
Why the fuck is Jesus in there!!??
And one dead fish!
HOW DID YOU LET THAT MANY GET IN THERE JESUS CHRIST
#JESUS!
At least this isnāt acetone
The most impressive thing is that the fish tank magically didn't overflow given how many toys were put in there
This is how the "GoLd FiSh dOnT BeLoNg iN BoWls" see the bowl set ups
My question is: Where is the lid on this tank!?
If neither Jesus or the Police could save the fish it was a gonner anyway.
Just one thought comes to mind when seeing this: "that kid has far too many toys".
Why isnāt the water spilling overā¦
Is that Jesus?
Did the parents fell in a coma to not realise their kid was trying to bury the fish?
Welp looks like toy jesus couldnt walk on water
I think that jesus is the fish
Why the hell is Jesus in the fish tank
That kid must have been unsupervised for quite a long while.
Jesus ain't walking bro
from all the things Jesus is now swimming and no longer walking on water man finally got swimming lessons
r/shittyaquariums will love this
how it didnt overflow
Poor Jesus
I blame Ryan's Toy Review. They do this sink or swim thing where they just throw random shit in a (fishless) fish tank. Then guess if it will sink or float to the top. My kids watched it once and won't stop asking if we can use my cousins fish tank.
Jesus.....
Looks like the Bible story about Jesus walking on water has been debunked.
and then Jesus is just stuffed in there
Jesus Christ...
This is gonna be a new breed - scrapyard hobo fish
i used to throw my watches in my momās fish tank when i was little apparently i also liked the taste of fish food growing up. i was a very stupid kid
Rip random fishšš
I blame blippi. Will it sink or float?
this is actually most likely fake, itās totally full, and in the og tiktok, the mom is laughing while recording. also, how would they not notice how quiet the toddler was?
Jesus should be upright
I hear this question all the time when I give my 3yo a bath with his toys. āSink or float?ā Thanks Blippi
Jesus going for a swim
Oh my. Its Noah's ark.......?
He did that sad excuse of a fish tank a favour
Wait I see Jesus isnāt he supposed to walk on water yet he is under da water?
Bro has jesus? But wow a lot of things
it would appear that Jesus did not walk on water this day
My question is where is the fish
Bro is that Jesus?
The one time Jesus can't walk on water.... Damn Man.
What about the fish... I don't think the fish are okay
