Fish Tanks

Why Classroom Fish Tanks?

Hi, I’m Izzie!

An aquarist with a passion for agriculture. I started the Classroom Fish Tank initiative to bring the joy and learning of aquatic ecosystems into local classrooms.

This past year I established the first two fish tanks in a local agriculture classroom. The students LOVED it! This is where the “Classroom Fish Tank” initiative began. 

Since, four additional tanks have been established. I have worked with a local business (A Fish Store) who has helped me secure and purchase all necessary items with the help from generous sponsors. 

After a brief nitrogen cycle, each tank will welcome a community of shrimp. And as the project grows, I’ll be adding more educational resources and exciting activities to this website.

I’m thrilled to share my love of aquaculture with the next generation of learners!

Would you like a classroom fish tank? 

Or, would you like to sponsor a classroom fish tank for an Escambia or Santa Rosa County teacher? 

If yes, please reach out to Izzie at isabelle.r.jenkins@gmail.com for more information.

The freshwater tank will be set up for the class. It will come with live plants, fish, and everything you need to get started. It will also include videos and a fun curriculum for your students to learn all about the Aquaculture industry and its importance.

Thank you to our partners!

This project would not have been possible without the support of AMAZING partners!

Thank you to Dale, for his continues help, knowledge and support. This initiative would not be possible without all of your support. Best. Fish Store. Ever. 

Thank you to Buy Pet Shrimp for your "Shrimp for Schools" program. Through this program, we will able to provide shrimp for all of our classes.


Teachers

And most importantly, educators who are "betta testing" this curriculum in their classrooms (actually, we don't have any betta fish ;) :
