<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019m kind of a fish nerd,\u201d she explained. \u201cWhen I was like 9 or 10, I got a betta fish and that blossomed into two different tanks. So I have two tanks in my room \u2013 a goldfish tank and a tank for tropical warm fish. Just growing up, any time we\u2019d step into a Pet Smart I\u2019d find a fish person and ask them all these questions. They knew exactly who I was.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her fish fascination also has earned Fedorowicz a role on \u201cTanked Jr.,\u201d a new Animal Planet short series that premieres with the new season of \u201cTanked\u201d Friday, March 30 at 9 p.m.<\/p>\n
For new viewers, \u201cTanked\u201d features the owners of Acrylic Tank Manufacturing who build \u201cawe-inspiring tanks and aquariums for celebrities and athletes, luxury hotels and casinos, Fortune 500 businesses and private homeowners,\u201d according to the Animal Planet news release that announced the television series\u2019 new season.<\/p>\n
The same news release described Fedorowicz\u2019s role on \u201cTanked Jr.\u201d this way:<\/p>\n
Abby Fedorowicz and her friends take you through a step-by-step process of how to build\u00a0<\/em>fin-tastic<\/em>\u00a0fish tanks! Each short is five minutes long and will air during the\u00a0TANKED<\/strong>\u00a0premieres and also be available on Animal Planet GO. They will feature unique themes such as a Safari Tank, a Carnival Tank and a Robot Tank. The results are fishy-fun tanks that will inspire viewers to design fish tanks of their own!<\/em><\/p>\n Fedorowicz credits her \u201cyears and years\u201d of taking care of fish as preparing her for the audition that landed her the role.<\/p>\n \u201cWe basically had to come in with a poster board of a fish tank we would want to have and what it would look like, so I just drew one of my tanks. They were asking me different questions and I could tell that, pretty much from the start, they were kind of impressed that I knew a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n The aspiring actress, a student in the Visual and Performing Arts Academy at Salem, also has appeared in a short film and commercials. She is hoping for a callback from her recent audition for the lead role in a film in which she would be a competitive swimmer, a role she also plays as a member of Salem\u2019s swim team. Additionally, Fedorowicz is involved with Hurrah Players as an actress and camp counselor.<\/p>\n In the meantime, she encourages everyone to tune in March 30 to watch \u201cTanked Jr.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s something you can do in your own house, and I think it\u2019s really easy to do. Especially if you already have a fish tank, it could just come down to decoration, and I think it really brings out the creative side in people,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n The self-proclaimed fish nerd added, \u201cAnd I think it\u2019s cool to see all these different fish and to learn about different fish that you don\u2019t see every day in a pet store.\u201d<\/p>\n For more information about \u201cTanked Jr.\u201d or \u201cTanked,\u201d visit www.animalplanet.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
