My fish are overdosing on fish food.

My autistic son dumped about half a cup of fish flakes into the 30 gallon aquarium. I've been carefully scooping for the last hour with s stainless steel strainer, being careful not to gather up any of the new baby platys in it, but three of them are very small, only about 1/4 inch long.

My husband is at work, and he called me five times to tell me what to do, and he finally came home. I guess he knew I was mad at him for being absent-minded and leaving the fish food out.

So I'm having a diet vanilla coke now to settle my nerves. I really didn't need more work to do.

1. Ouch. That stinks. Hope everything works out.

Fry are so little... and so cute.

2. Yikes! We have fish but throwing in too much food didn't hurt them

any. just made the water really gunky.

3. The pet shop people said the extra food goes rotten

and besides stinking up the aquarium, might cause the ammonia content to get nasty. Anyway, we're changing out some of the water every couple of days until it's cleaned up. I think I might have a fish still giving birth in the tank. One has been hiding quite well for awhile.

4. We've never had babies. I guess our fishies are all the same gender
