All kinds of different shitty aquariums in the sub, for sure. Still shitty tho.

Loved sesame street growing up, but I realized as an adult that Dorothy’s fish bowl was way too small lol

Two goldfish of that size in a 55 gallon really isn’t that shitty. Fake decor and colorful gravel doesn’t make it shitty

That's so much larger than typical. Almost acceptable, if filtering is proper. But it's probably non-existent.

Wait that doesn’t look too awful I thought it was like a 20 gallon but is it half of a larger tank? Like a 55 or a 75? That’s the minimum amount of water for them especially at that size it doesn’t look bad besides the decor as long as there’s a filter

Maybe I'm misjudging scale, but looks like a 29 gallon tank to me.

This dumbass is judging the acceptable tank set up whilst everyone else is judging you for exposing your child to crack.

Based on this comment, I can guess about 3 major things about you, but unlike you, I'm not resorting to being a bully. Also, asking questions is fine. I didn't really see any judging unless I missed something.
Good day.

Have another read through the comments. People are literally calling you a bad mom.

Agreed allowing your child to watch this garbage is literally rotting their brain

When my daughter was 3 we turned on cocomelon one day when we needed to just wind down and HOLY SHIT, instant brain capture. Then after 10 minutes we turned it off and my daughter started throwing a tantrum. Shit's horrible for kids

That's crazy, we watch one random video for 30 mins a day in between other activities, and my daughter couldn't give a shit less when it goes off. Kids get angry at what you give and then take away. React less, and you'll see a decline in the behavior. Hope this unsolicited advice helps!

Careful with the cocomelon.. its incredibly overstimulating.
