he does get a lot of crap. and i deal it out too. he doesn't deserve it all, i know that, but you can't blame it on his mom passing away. my parents just seperated (they are actually doing it now), i some how i manage to keep my tank clean, and nicely stocked. i know losing a parent is much worse than seperation, but neither really have anything to do with fish keeping (unless your parents clean your tank)
