IIRC, long-term exposure to heavy metals like iron, nickel, etc. has been shown in a laboratory to cause immune system issues, tumors, etc. in fish. A few days won't matter, so don't worry, get a lock, and tell your little cousin you love him.
When I thought I'd seen it all >:(

Oh I would have much to say...quite a bit.If the kid doesn't yet at eight years of age understand the concept of respecting the home and property of others then I'd have no problem explaining it all to him.
I 100% agree. But nowadays kids in my family are babied and I wouldn't have heard the end of it. If I was 8 years old and I did that to my grandpa's tank I would have got a whopping. Now a days at least in my fam, the kids just get told to say sorry and they think that's enough. Lol yeah I felt like scolding him with a lecture but again I would have never heard the end of it. Plus my family thinks fish are inferior to other pets so I didn't have much of a winning battle to fight.

Understood but that's your home and respect is due,I was taught that at a younger age than your cousin is and he should know better.I don't let people's kids come into my home and just do whatever they want...family or guests and if the parents have an issue with it they don't have to come over.How the rest of your family feels about YOUR fish in YOUR home is irrelevant.
I'm 18. Not my home. So I can't exactly call all the shots but still I was very mad.

+1 Thankfully I'm lucky enough to have parent that understand fish are as much as pets as cats or dogs, even though neither are fish keepers.
OOPS!...I was under the impression that you were older and a homeowner.I can now fully appreciate the position you are in.
