Answer :

answer:Maybe you can find a small table for the new tank that would keep it more accessable to your daughter. I just bought my 23 yr. old daughter a bigger tank for her Betta and two aquatic frogs. The fish and frogs really like it and the Betta has its own leaf hammock and the frogs have hiding places in the rock sculptures. An end table or small coffee table in her room or wherever you keep the tank would solve the problem.
