Oh my word, the struggles of teenage fish keepers! My parents are exactly the same, which is why I haven’t even breached the subject of a pump on the faucet yet. I got gifted a 20g, and I would LOVE to have a betta setup in it but they wont even consider setting up another :(
Ah yes. I am very fortunate honestly. It was a struggle at first to get my parents to let me have tanks, especially when the carpet was new! We worked it out after my parents realized how passionate I was about it, and I have a 40, 20, and 5 gallon. I have an empty ten gallon that I am just DYING to set back up for guppies, but know I shouldn’t ask lol. Part of it is that I am homeschooled, and my parents want me to have hobbies
 
Thank you! Its finally becoming a set-up that Im enjoying as well!
That’s great! That’s one of my favorite parts. You look at your tank and you just love it. I can’t wait for you to get your fish!:fish:

same... my parents saw how into it I was and not like a little "phase", so they have helped me tremendously with my aquarium

I'm homeschooled too! :0
 
I thought your beautiful little platy fry where going in your high school library!
I mean
Technically
I take two classes and do the plays/musicals there and occasionally football games but that's about it. I still consider myself homeschooled because that's how I've grown up, I don't really count only two classes as "public school" lol.

Ohhhhhhhhhh ok. That’s really cool! It must be nice to have some of the social aspect of going to school, but still be homeschooled? I do an online school curriculum and definitely miss having friends

Ohhhh yeah. I homeschooled until 3rd grade, went to a private Christian school for 3rd, 4th, and 5th, and have homeschooled for 6th up until now, and I’m in 10th grade. I plan to continue homeschooling through 11th and 12th grade, because of the way my online program works I am getting credits and next year I’m doing dual enrollment. I love the freedom that homeschooling provides, I wouldn’t have time for my fish tanks, my rabbit, my dog, my other hobbies, etc if I were still in school. It does get lonely though. I haven’t seen a friend in welllllllllllllll over a year
