Being in High School I have I lot of dumb friends who don't understand fish. Back when I had my native tank I kept a 6" striped bass. I showed my freind a feeding and fed the bass some earth worms. Later on the day we started playing video games, my friend left the room and started luaghing. As I walked in to see what was so funny, I saw him pionting and luaghing at my aquarium. Turns out he fed my striped bass a sour gummy worm. I was furious. I kicked him out of my house and the fish died later that night trying to cough up the non digested worm. This shows you might want to keep a close eye on people who don't know about fish. Has anyone else had these types of experiences?

I have but not with my own fish...Back whenI used to work in a pet store there were kids who would come in and wander around the store and I could tell that they had no intentions of buying anything but it was not my place to throw them out..I caught them one day way at the back of one of the fish aisles and they were putting community fish in one of the pirahna tanks....Back to your situation,sorry about the striper,and,did you physically kick your friend out of your house?...I would have.

Damn that sucks I don't let anyone near my tanks unless I'm there. One time I came home and saw my bro and his friends looking at one my tanks and left to go the restroom. I came back to see one of his friends had his arm in my tank messing with my fish I grabbed him and I said you do that again you and me going to have problems. After that none of my bros friends went to see my tanks without asking me and me being present. I had to do a water change right after because he had all types of stuff on his body like lotion and stuff like that. But luckily none of my fish died.

Well said and a good consolation for having my tanks down in the basement,no guests have any business down there unless they are invited.

I don't mind little kids asking questions, even silly ones; I do mind when people want to mess with the fish...Good thing these days, the top of my tank is about six foot...

Ya I had one of my 10 year old brothers friends come over. He was I think 13. And I walk in my room and I see him chasing my fish with his hand! I grabbed him picked him up carried him outside lol and threw his butt on my lawn and gave him a good punch if two lmfao. I was so pissed! Little punk is terriefied of me now rofl. I'm not huge though I'm 5'7" and pretty muscley so I'm not a gladiator lol. If someone were to drop anything in my tanks I would no joke knock the crap out of them! Feel so bad for you man. But make the moron pay for it! I went out and bought a key entry door knob for my room just incase lol I lock it when my friends are over.
