Expensive day

woke up yesterday and finely got out of bed as i have been down with the flu,

so the wife and kids took over the feed on my tanks ( NEVER AGAIN )

in three days they knackered my filter so much it was reverdeing the waste back into the tank a little at a time
which caused a nitrite strike it wiped the whole tank out

all this due to over feeding and no water changes done by the wife

altoghter i lost

3x lo18 gold nuggs
5x l315 blue spots
1x l008 pekoltia
4x brown bristlenose ( NOT MY BREEDERS THANK GOD )
x1 large black common
x1large alino common

and a shed load of other fish, gouramis,angels, neons,rasboras,tetra,loaches,

i am absolutley gutted

that is mega bad sounds like your gonna have to start again with that tank.....
gutted for you mate...hope you get back on track soon..

so sorry to hear that mate that is very upsetting

Oh dear, thats not good mate..samething happened to me years back, asked dad to feed the tank while i was away, only gone for 4 days when i returned home my tank was carnage!!! ended up with 3 dead Corydoras a few cardinal tetras, i was totally mortified. Now if i go away i let no-one touch my tanks, i simply let them fast for a few days or use tetramin gel based holiday food.

i agree i would let mine starve for a day before i let anyone feed them..they also get used to the amount you give them...i hope you get it sorted soon mate..
