10 Gallon Tank Corydoras fry

I have about 20ish pepper corydoras fry that I'm raising in a 10gallon. They're only a couple days old. I've been doing water changes daily and feeding them a few times a day. My question is, I'm going on vacation on November 7th (so they'll be a couple weeks old then I guess then), and I was wondering if I just feed them the night before, do a water change the following morning before I leave will allow me to leave them for a week without feeding them? I heard it's best to not feed them before you go and just do a water change. I have live plants and a very mature sponge filter in there.

How long can corydoras fry live without feeding if they solely survive off the bacteria from the filter, plants, ect?

 

I can’t answer your questions but Im replying to get this thread at the top.

Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

 

I think with live plants and a slightly grungy sponge, twenty little Corydoras fry should be able to survive a week easily. Especially paleatus, as they are pretty tough anyway.

And there's no such word as Corydora. It's Corydoras, whether singular or plural.

That's definitely good to know. I feel better leaving them on their own for a bit.

Thank you so much. This site is incredibly helpful thanks to experienced/advanced keepers. I've only been in the hobby for a couple years and learn every day.
