When Michelle and Robert Duchouquette, of Plano, Texas went away on vacation last year, the couple left their two dogs and Betta fish, Gordy, in the hands of Prestigious Pets. After returning from their vacation, the couple noticed that Gordy's bowl was cloudy — a consequence of overfeeding. So the Duchouquettes posted a negative review on Yelp — and Prestigious Pets countered with a friendly $1 million lawsuit.

When i go on holiday i simply leave the fish and just prepackage a few pellets for each time a friend comes to check the house 1 or 2 times a week
 
Also reading now, they kept their betta in a bowl and are complaining about a company overfeeding their fish? I smell some hypocrites here.

Also if they had enough money to use a camera to monitor the thing then why not buy a bigger tank?
