Hi - I am new here and the reason for joining is because this is really irritating me...my husband's uncle comes to visit from NY occasionally and leaves his fish with no food - EVER! When he returns back home they are always dead. WHAT THE HELL?? This is a 48 year old man for God's sake. I told him he could not stay here again if he couldnt take care of his fish...why does he even have them if he cannot take care of them? I am so angry...I cannot believe that people could even do this - they are living beings. Anyway - I offered to give him an automatic feeder (I have 6 of them) but he doesnt seem to want to bother. Anyway, thanks for listening to me vent..
