Ok, I've been patient this long, but I have had it up to here with these darn kids leaving prints on my tank. My roommate and I are both math tutors, so at times there's a lot of traffic with students. I try to tell them the fish don't like when they poke the glass, but apparently they ignore me. Today I just woke up to see about ten eraser streaks all on my glass, like someone intentionally took their eraser and walked the full length of the tank multiple times. WWYD?

How to keep kids from touching tank?
A smack up side the head fixes my problems with kids. I also tell the parents of other kids. If they damage, stress or kill any of my fish they will pay the damages. Don't have many kids at my house for some reason, not sure why though.......
Tell the people not to bring there kids or it's extra money, and that they will be held responsible for keeping there kids away from the goods.ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ

I remember when my son was 2 1/2 yrs old we went to the Potatoe patch restraunt on 1960. He must of had a bad day or learned some BS from some other kid that day. I warned him 3 times to stop. He did not listen.
Those old ladies had a wierd look when I marched him out to the front porch of that restraunt. They were smiling big time when that little angel and I came walking back in.
My son is one great man today. You are welcome son.
This is not the world we live in today.

My dad was a Marine. I got beat upside down. He was strict about anything. All A's or butt whooping, no conduct less than E or butt whooping, shirts tucked in and beds made everyday or butt whooping. The same kid told his mom, "don't look at me, I don't wanna see your face right now". Was at mathnasium in memorial city. Kids are spoiled. They all have iPhones and laptops. Some deserve it. Some need an arse whoopin.210gPetrochromis Macrognatus Green 'Nsumbu

Start charging the parents a tank cleaning fee every time their kid touches it. It's a win win for either you get cash or the touching stops.29 Gallon SA Tank -- 5 Bleeding Heart Tetras, Mated Pair of Angels, 7 Green Corys, and a Rubberlip Pleco
30 Gallon Breeder -- 20+ neon tetras, 3 albino cories, 2 albino bristlenose plecos, female betta, 1 angel
5 Gallon Shrimp Nano - Sakura Red Shrimp, Boraras Brigittae, Oto Cats, Olive Nerites, and Pink Ramshorn

when my son was little (hes 6 now) and he would tap on the glass I would tap on his head and then ask how he likes it... and remind him of the scary girl on finding nemo. he got it pretty quick. I am also prone to a trip to the restroom or the car to handle a behavior problem. my parents never hit me, and I wish they had. it could have saved me some trouble later in life... how old are the kids you tutor?my fish house:
2.5g- ramshorn hatchery
6g eclipse- yellow shrimp, chili rasboras, yellow apple snails
29g- geo grow-out, angels, 12"fire eel, dwarf frog, apple snails
45g- jade sleeper gobies, native killifish, feeder endlers
75g- 2 oscars, parrot, silver dollars, albino channel cat, syno euptera, bichir, baby jaguar, convicts, yabby
125g- fahaka puffer, rainbow shark
and about a dozen bettas....
