I've started my 9 year old son with two tanks, a small 2 gal. tank
with a Betta, and a 10 gal. with a few starter fish. (Platys and
Swordtails)
The only water testing that that I've been teaching him so far
is "How does the water smell and is it fairly clear."

I do some checks just to make sure, but he has learned that
overfeeding caused some of his fish to die. Was that it exactly?
I'm not completely sure, but he learned an important lesson and
is now much more careful about feeding.
