We have discussed aquariums in the past 💬 ⌛
They are popular way for children to learn about animals in Montessori Schools: https://youtu.be/OsxEBcCe8Y0 🐠

When we visited the Porto Montessori School last August our son was transfixed by their tank in the entrance:

It's the first thing everyone sees when they enter; just below their main notice board.

The most reasonably priced high quality aquarium I could find online is this one:

To be clear: I'm definitely conflicted on "confining" fish in an aquarium their whole lives ... 🙄
I'd much rather just live in nature and have lots of wild animals to observe ...
But in leu of that, an aquarium with fish our children can "look after" is a good start.

Once we've built the stand for the aquarium we can fill it with water and head to Nova Arcada to buy the fish. ⏳

Champs collected the Aquarium and brought it up to Braga yesterday: 🎉

As carefully measured before buying it, fits snugly in the back of the IQ. ✅

Need to build a stand for it before we can set it up. 🚧

We visited the pet/fish shop today and the owner advised that we have to wait 2 weeks for the filter to clean the water we put in today… ⏳
So we will revisit this in 2 weeks and collect our fish. 🐟🤞🏼

We also need to decide whether we want to have real plants in the tank and if so, change the lighting to all white LEDs!

@iteles with all respect to the pet shop owner, white light is not necessary for plant growth/health. In fact the spot where the aquarium is gets more than enough natural light so no light is needed.
I'm keen on having real plants even if just as a learning experience.
