weekend feeders

Can they be trusted? Im leaving on thursday night and wont be back till sunday evening. Im gonna head to the fish store and see what i can do in the way of keeping the fish fed while im gone.

I dont wanna come home to dead fish either by way of over feeding or not getting enough food..

Hi!

Don't bother with any food for them. They can go just fine for 2 weeks without food - 3 days would be a light fast!

Hmmm.. I did read they could go some time without food.. I just wasnt sure if it was good for them to do without for more then a day.

Thanks for the info..

I skip 2 days every now and then, simply cause they are greedy eaters and will poop the tank up if I feed them regularly.

Tetra makes some round gel feeders that can be used, but I'd only go to those if you were looking at a trip longer than a week. I'd recommend a tank cleaning and partial water change on Wed. or Thurs. and a regular feeding right before you leave. Then a feeding when you get back Sunday.
