Welcome to the new additions to the Thode household! The fish are for baby Joley (Johnny has his tank in his room) and the hermit crabs are Kenzie’s. I surprised her with the crabs last weekend and she seems to really enjoy them and taking care of them.
Joley loves elephants so she chose to have them in her tank. She walks by the fish several times a day (they are in my kitchen) and nearly every time she tells them “hi fishies”. So cute!
You can see both crabs in the first picture. There is one that looks like a hat (in the tree) and one that looks like a frog. We love our animals… all of them!
After you link up on my linky, feel free to go to any of the following (or all of the following)! 7 Clown Circus , 5 minutes for Mom, and J Leigh Designz.

Very cute. My husband and I were just looking at fish today. We’d like to get some.
Jane says
Beautiful fish tank:)
Debby Pucci says
It’s so pretty. I love the elephants! Don’t see many of them in fish tanks.
Lauren @ Hobo Mama says
I had no idea you could decorate hermit crabs! How hilarious.
I keep wanting a fun little pet like that, but I can’t decide if I really want the responsibility. Yes, I’m 8 years old, apparently.
Doll Clothes Gal Pal says
Nice! These are amazing! I bet my kids would love this as well. Are those hermit crabs?
Michaela says
Cute crabs! I had one way back when, before they started making cute houses for them.
Ollie McKay's says
Love goldfish and love all the colors in these pics!! Our kids used to have fish ~ it’s been awhile!
Irene says
aw..so cute to see little ones with their pets! We just got our six year old a beta fish…he keeps the tank in his room and does a good job taking care of “Max.”
Happy WW!

I’m trying to figure out the best first pet for my three year old… She loves the snails that visit our back yard…. a hermit crab might be a fun idea!! Thanks for the inspiration!
Colleen says
Nice photos. the extent of pets at are house is a turtle I will have to include him on WW one day. He looks so funny when he lays under his heat lamp LOL.
Thanks for stopping by my blog this morning!
Petula says
I haven’t had a fish tank in quite some time. My children would probably love it. They want a puppy, but I can’t afford taking care of it or have the time for it. I may consider getting the children each a Beta fish or something and see how they do with that. Great tank you have there and I was really confused about the hat and the frog until I read someone’s comment. I didn’t know you could do that either.
Mommy2Four says
I love your fish tank! My kids would love one like that!
Melanie says
What fun. My kids would love those.
Carrie says
My girls LOVE our fish and lizard and cat 🙂 I’m waiting for the day they beg for a hamster or something 🙂
Hope you can come by and visit. I’m paritcipating in Blogtrotting today
LeeAnn says
Cool hermit crabs! We had hermit crabs growing up, but they just had plain old brown shells. I have never seen them like that before.
Thanks for the linky! Happy WW!
Pamela says
This brings back memories of a fish tank I had when I was little, it was a gumball machine and I loved it!
blueviolet says
What a uniquely designed fish tank. How fun!
TheAngelForever says
I have to say I really love the cute elephants in the tank. So different and works with the bright hermit crab shell 🙂
Dumb Mom says
Good luck! We are horrible pet owners except for when it comes to fish. For some reason we are blessed with owning two immortal fish that have been alive for 4 years! Any day will be there last I’m sure:(
Dina @ 4 Lettre Words says
It’s really lovely!
Simply Delicious says
Cool! My kids would love that. 🙂

We were just discussing getting a hamster.
Sara@MommaFindings says
You guys have pets like ours, except we have African Dwarf Frogs. Their home looks a lot like ya’ll’s. 🙂 Happy WW!
Mimi says
I’m blind and can’t see the crab that looks like a frog. LOL
The kids will have great fun with the new pets!

Thanks for pointing out the hermit crabs. I missed them at first. Those are awesome pets. Bye fishies!
Owen's Mom says
That is a pretty snazzy tank there! I need to get mine all cleaned out. I haven’t set it up since we moved – no time! I promised my toddler I would get him some simple fish to start out. I am sure he will hold me to it!
Christa says
I haven’t had a fish in such a long time! I killed the last couple I had. Two froze to death 🙁
Faythe @GrammyMousetails says
I never knew that you could get hermit crabs in something other than a shell? that is funny!
It think it is sweet you daughter is sharing her elephants with the fish!
Louise says
Hermit crabs are fun!
alicia says

The fish tank is adorable!
I used to have hermit crabs…just watch your hands…they tend to pinch you when you bathe them!! LOL!
