I am so pissed off right now, this morning my brother (to get back at me for now turning down my music when he was playing Red Dead Redemption) decided to uncap a sharpie highlighter and throw it into my fish tank. It was almost a minute before I even realized that he threw it in because, even though he did threaten that he was going to do it, he uses that threat everyday just to blackmail me, so of course, when he gets up and leaves I'm thinking, "oh okay he's just pissed off, he'll be back" so when he finally gets back, he puts back his headset on and tells his friend, "haha, I just threw a highlighter in my brother's fish tank hehe" and I'm sitting there frozen like, there's no effin way he actually did, that so I sat there for like 2 seconds waiting for him to turn around and say "just kidding,".... nope, he didn't. So i jump up, sprint over to my tank and what do I find floating around, the freakin highlighter!!!! and I'm in a super rage and want to break his effin neck. I pull out the highlighter and throw it on the ground, go into the garage, get the hacksaw, and cut the living **** out of him.... not really, but I really did get the hacksaw out of the garage in an attempt to scare the **** out of him. Well, we got in a huge fight, and he ended up going to his room, while I have to do a 50% water change on my tank after I did my first 15% water change yesterday after a whole month's time due to SATs, finals, and APs, so hopefully my tank doesn't take too big of a hit. We ended up arguing the entire day, parents angry as **** at both of us, and now I feel like I'm in a hell-hole. So far, I don't see anything wrong with my fish, but you never know. Well, just thought I'd vent. I wanted to do this earlier, but I was afraid that I'd break the keyboard on my mac. Whatever, oh and the worst thing is, he won't admit that he did anything wrong because, "they're just fish," and because I said 6 months ago that I needed to get rid of the goldfish that were helping to cycle my tank after the cycling process was complete that I too, "hate fish and don't give a f*** about them." That B******!!!!! I love my fish more than anything in my freakin life. can he not tell from the 200+ hours a week that I spend staring at my fish tank and doing water changes. And my parents are saying that he had the right to be a little pissed off because, "he walked his own dog in the morning for the first time!"... we've had the dog for 2 years and he signed a contract with my parents when we got her that he was going to walk the dog everyday and feed her everyday. ALSO... the xbox that he was playing with was paid with my money because 3 years ago when we were going to buy it, we had a deal that we were going to split the cost of it 50-50, so we go to Best Buy and what does he do?! he freakin backs out, so I told him, if I pay for it all, it's mine and you can only play with it when I let you.... yea he plays it more than me now and my parents can't remember that far back so they think they bought it for us so we have to share it equally; and when they do remember, they say,"Matt, you're the older brother, you should be caring for your younger brother and share your things." !!! WTF, I'm so pissed off right now. I'm sorry you had to read this MFK, alygruia3ow;gjralgn;aoJERi;goinadl'kmasdg;knad;lksfmhjn n b gfvfvfvffvgbhjjm :swear: :swear: :swear: :swear: :swear: :swear: :swear:

I would keep a bag of fresh carbon on hand at all times in case he decides to pull crap like that again. fresh carbon will adsorb chemicals very well and will help greatly with that sort of thing.

Thank you for that advice, I almost forgot that I had some extra activated carbon, I just went and put some in my tank, hopefully it helps. thanks.
 
Damn, i couldn't even start to imagine how pissed i'd be if some one did anything like that to my tank... either way hopefully your tank is fine...
 
**** man, i feel for you.
But seriously that **** ain't right, i understand the pranks and stuff siblings pull on each other and all, but thats crossing a line messing with living creatures.
Smack him across the head for me would you?
 
SInce you bought the Xbox, and he plays it more than you; you can make a Craiglist Ad saying "Xbox 360 For Sale". Pocket the money and sell his game with it!!!
HEHEHEEHEHEHEH!!!!!:naughty::naughty::naughty::naughty::naughty:
 
Awww that sucks! But in your brother's defence, Dead Red Redemption is an awesome game......................hehehhe
