Tiny, The boyfriend needs a good beating :Angel:

Big water changes, as much as you can remove with the fish still in there.

wow. that sucks. definitely kick him in the nuts, get a new bucket, and label it with big letters or keep it in a locked cabinet or something ;)

I make my wife help me with water changes so she knows exactly what bucket and other things I use when I do them :) might do you some good to make him help you ;)

Jeez, you guys are pretty hard on the guy ;)

the fact that he even used a bucket with pinesol got passed over..sheesh..sounds like to me he was trying to help out around the house ;)

I'm pretty sure he never intended to do any harm... :dance2:

just make sure in the future he knows which buckets he can and can't use...

good luck

too bad the fish had to suffer and pay the price of his mistake with their lives, too hard on him? NO

Same thing happened to me once. My father got the scrub bucket (he couldn't smell) and did a water change. We could smell pinesol for days. Surprisingly none of the fish died, I believe there were three goldfish in there at the time.

gee puffer,'
since you decided to single my post.
I feel I need to respond ;)
having spent several years in law enforcement..I think yeah..he made a mistake but show me intent..

you might not like what happened but he never intended to do any harm.

so being hard on him proves what??


would you chastise a child for a mistake?

there was a hard lesson learned. my point was teach people and avoid the mistakes.

lol. It's amazing how steamed up people can get about a hobby as 'peaceful' as keeping fish! :rolleyes:

I agree, star rider - the poor guy deserves some brownie points for cleaning the bathroom! We have Actus Reus, but no Mens Rea! (Nothing wrong with a little guilt, though!)

Btw, tinytnt - how are the rest of the fish?
