I came home from work today, and my brother tells me, "don't feed your fish for a few days..maybe even a week" WHAT?! he then pursues to tell me that a bratty kid who was there visiting with his mother..who wasn't watching the heathen!!, he dumped a WHOLE bottle of fish food (betta food) into my tropical aquarium!! :crazy: it contains angelfish, cory cats, tetras, fancy guppies, swordtails..etc...it is a 55 gallon aquarium.....

I noticed that ALL Of my fishes bellies are swollen and full! They "scooped" out the food the best they could, what they didn't get, I THINK my filter did a pretty good job of cleaning out! but....there is still quite a bit in my gravel (should I use my gravel vaccum on it?) :dunno: and most importantly, should I be concerned about my fish? I don't want them sick!! :angry: Please help me!! :grr:
 
I would definitely use a vacuum on the gravel. I don't know if your fish will be ok or not. I would keep an eye on them.
 
The little devil! :devil:

Yeah! You'd need to clean your gravel. You don't want any uneaten food rotting and poisoining your fish (if later, they're hungry).
 
thanks...unfortunately.my algae eater died! :( and our filter was so clogged :crazy: so i have been vaccuuming!! ugghhh!! I have NEVER seen such a mess!!
