Will the baby zebra danios be ok whilst I'm away

Hi, My Zebra Danios have layed eggs and they are now hatching and the babies are now starting to swim about happily in their own tank. However, I'm going away for 5 days on the 10th September and I'm wondering how I can keep them fed. Obviously with the adult fish in the other tank I'll buy a holiday block like I have before but I'm unsure what to do about the babies, as I'm quite new to keeping fish and have never had babies before. Can anyone offer me any advice please?
Thanks Pam

If there is algae in the tank the fish will be fine. The baby danio are small enough that microfauna is their best first food anyway.

Depends on how new the tank is, but if it is over a month into being setup it will have microfauna. If not, very finely ground up flake just before you leave ----should---- see them through for 5 days. Do the waterchange then feed then waterchange and feed when you return would be my suggestion.

Good luck!

Brill, thanks for that. Am I right in assuming that they are too young for a holiday block?

Are the babies able to cope with a holiday feeding bloke whilst I'm away?
