I have a pet sitter that comes to the house to care for the fish...I bet she'll be quite overwhelmed this time with all the baby Bettas jarred up but they are my kids and I'd never make them miss a meal!

I feed them when I go to my bfs appartment, and someone else feeds them during the week, so they are eating like 3 times per week for two weeks... my poor babies.

Like Emory has already stated, we'll be home through out the holidays, so feeding will go as normal.

I am curious, however, what you folks with more experience think about those little block feeders that dissolve over time. I remember my parents using them with no issue. Are the automatic feeders better?

I'm having my grandpa come over to care for them. I bought some of those feeder blocks, but I'm having second thoughts about them. I don't want them to pollute my tank. I think I'll just have him feed them.
