Always tell your family to call you.

I wlda cracked some skulls. I think whenever i go somewhere Imma write a car sheet for what to do when im gone

I did that and everything went fine except for my snail tank... i was away for like 6 days and wrote a care sheet for all my pets... i wrote that my sis should sprinkle some water into my snail tank.. she wet it too much... dead snails arent very pleasant

If I were you, I'd make your brother pay back the value of the lost fish.

When I came home there was only 6 inches of water in my 75 gallon tank, with no filtration and light I can't believe my pleco survived for 4 days! He is one tough sucker![/QUOTE]
Very punny!

To add on to what should have been the first sign my older brother was destined to kill fish was a story she told me. When he was 4 or 5 (3-4 years before I was born) My mom said she was cooking and my brother came and got her and said "Look I fed the fish all by myself!" My mom went and looked at their fish tank and all she could see was food. Couldn't even see an centimeter into the water.

My mothers excuse was "Your brother went to Hopkins and he is an engineer!". Yes, true, but I go to school for marine biology/pre-med and all he deals with is math.

Now I know where not to hire engineers from next time I'm looking. That's got to be one of the stupidest things I've heard in a long time. Not your mom reaction that one actually makes sense. Someone who went to Johns Hopkins shouldn't be the flamingly stupid. You sure he didn't graduate with a BA in Basket Weaving or something?

What is with people on MFK and hiring sitters/family that always kill/do something wrong with their fish?

 

[Diskboy12]

I always give a care sheet of what I want done to whoever takes care of my tank..usually gma.

i just say dont even touch my animals or anythin i leave the lights off and my fish and snakes are better off without food than what my family would have done to them. my fiance knows what to do but if i go somewhere she goes with me
