Freshwater Beginners A place where freshwater aquarium fish beginners can go to post their questions and hopefully get responses from those more experienced. Also check out the Freshwater Fish Beginner's Guide and Aquarium Setup Guides. Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

Going away for 2 months...

Hi everyone!
I have a 4 gal biorb with 2 serpea tetras and 1 otto (since august 2008). I have to step out of the country for 2 months and was wondering what would be the best for my little guys? Somebody will be coming every 3 days to check on my house, so is it ok to have them fed those 3-day block feeders during for those 2 months, or should I try to find somebody to rehome them for that time??
Thanks for your help!

Hi anne..unless that someone can do partial water changes as well as feed them , id rehome while you are gone..the intant feeder blocks usually cause more harm than good..although the gel ones havent had as many issues but they can be flawed....if you have a good friend, that would do better
