Parents cleaned my tanks without asking :/ Betta

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’d be careful they didn’t use any kind of soap honestly, my grandma tried to “help” me around once and she soaked this fake coral thing I had that was covered in moss in dawn dish soap. I Didn’t notice and put it back into the tank. You can guess how well that went

They used powdered laundry detergent, op put in another comment.

Oh nooo, I didn’t see that one. Why do older folks like to touch and move our things around?

Hope op manages to fix it somehow , soap is bad enough but laundry detergent???
