Well, I'm back. Pardon a bit of a bump, but I'd just like to clear up a few misconceptions that may have arisen. When I made the thread I was still a bit sore about the incident. I just want to say, my parents are not abusive, even verbally. Me and my parents are very close. Much more than most kids my age. It's just that, like any people that are together constantly, we fight occasionally. When I was in 3rd to, say, 6th grade, me and my family fought constantly. but lately we do not fight as much as we used to... it's just that, when we do, nobody wants to back down, and it escallates. And when I am involved, it all seems to funnel down on what eachother treasures most. It's definately a flaw that we need to work on. This week was a tough one... my parents were swamped with work, I was freaking out about midterms (this week) and, to make matters worse, it was a rushed and stressful morning. But I still love my parents, and I hate fighting with them. But, in the end, as I speak, all is well: the fish are fine, me and my family are on great terms, the fish are safe, and the birds are getting a much larger cage to fly around in 
Oh, and my parents, especially my dad, take great interest in my fish and even stop by often to check in on them. I was worried on Friday, when I made this thread, but after a computer-less weekend of thought, I know that nobody but nobody in my family would harm my fish.
I commend all who responded sanely, and were productive, wether you agreed with me or not. Thank you all for the replies.
This is why MFK is great. When we have no one to talk to, we can always get an opinion, a second opinion, a third opinion, and then some.
Thanks guys, you're all great
