Parents cleaned my tanks without asking :/

[u/Main_Initial_7118]

Came home today to this. First pic is what they put the fish in for god knows how long, last pic is my tank before they cleaned it. They told me it was bc my room looked “messy”. They are old so I don’t blame them…. But damn…

would definitely tell them to do research before doing anything of the sorts ever again..

Or just tell them the research. Parents, especially old parents, aren't gonna bother spending a bunch of time figuring out wtf a nitrogen cycle is, and why their kid is pissed off at them because of it

or maybe just leave someone’s belongings/animals alone unless there’s clearly a sign of abuse? it’s not that hard to not fuck with other people’s shit.

parents that refuse to learn anything because “they’re too old” or “they don’t want to” are the same parents to complain about why their kids never call or want to come over.

i shouldn’t have to explain how you “clean” my whole tank. you could just- not do it.

Or just tell them that if they don't already know what to do for someone's living animals, they are probably not going to magically pick the right way to do things

[u/stonerbbyyyy → u/Pixichixi]

yeah this falls under the “doing research” category

Tell them hu?
