We ended up setting up his little chair in front of the tank and he would watch it for hours. At the age of 2, he will still sit and watch the tank. He does still like to watch TV once in a while, but he will at least once a day climb on a chair in front of the tank and stare.
This allows me a lot of breathing room with spending money on the tank  |
This is very true both my daughter and son do the same thing when I'm holding them but put them in a chair by themselves and they freak out lol.
