I have a 75yr old father and ?yr mother-in-law that are not reef of fish safe.
I came home today and the bottom of my extra tank was covered in fish flakes and shrimp pellets. Looks like they both had a competition to see who can over feed the tank. Problem is that the small tank is plummed in to the main 220 gal tank that does not do well with bad water quality.
Maybe they will do better with your tank, but I had to hide the food once I saw the mess. Being the good son I am, I thanked my dad for helping me feed the fish and told him I would go ahead and do it myself when it came to flakes and pellets. My Mother-in-law will probably spend an hour looking for the food before she gives up. I'll tell her about the feeding change later... ;-)
They mean well, but I've shown them over a dozen times how much food to put in to the tank. They can't be trained... I'll trade both of them (especially the mother-in-law) for fish that will clean the mess they made.
