Vacationing

Hi all!

Well, it's finally time for spring break, and I'm leaving my fish in the dorms while I'm gone. Most of my fish are in a 10 gal on an automatic feeder, so I'm not concerned about them. However, I have two baby corries and two ottos in a 5.5 gallon tank on my desk. I'm going to be gone for a week, and I've heard that they'll be fine for that duration without food, but I want to get that verified. I could throw a few shrimp pellets or an algae wafer in there, but it would all dissolve by Monday, and all I'll have left are gorged fish and messy gravel.

Any suggestions?

Re: Vacationing

They'l be fine. Feed them the normal amount before you leave though, you'l just have a clean tank to come back too Don't put in any pellets or wafers for the week.

ATM is right. When you get back, your tank will be sparkly clean, and your babies will be glad to see you!
