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…

I am so sorry. Dealing with aging parents is hard because they just don’t understand sometimes. It’s really hard especially when cognitively they may not have done that in the past but have lost judgement as they got older and truly think they are helping.

Watch out for chemicals they may have used in the tank. I would worry about window cleaner on the glass or bleach.

I couldn't pay my parents to do a water change, let alone clean the whole thing out...
