We are in mourning today. Flipper the fish got killed at the fish sitter while we were gone. It most likely would have made it had we just left it home alone. In spite of my not enjoying cleaning the tank, Flipper was a good goldfish. He was with us for nearly two years :( For all you future pet sitters out there who want to do the fish owners a favor while they are away in Hell...Don't overfeed the fish. Never clean the biowheel no matter how nasty it looks. And if you do decide to clean the tank after you've overfed it, don't replace the spring water in the tank with tap water.
