away

[CORRAL]

I'm thinking taking a job abroad for 4 weeks but what about the tank 15 UK g

I've seen some '2-week holiday pellets' around has anyone tried them? At the moment I do a 20% water change every two weeks - all is well. But I don't know about 4 weeks. Has anyone any ideas?

I wouldn't use holiday feeders. The are ofen made up of plaster and ash and are only accessible to bottom feeders. They usually make tanks a mess.

I'd time the lights to come on and go off as usual ad get someone to feed and check on them, perhaps if you can bribe them into a water change.

Put the food into little plastic cups to ensure the fish are not overfed.

If I was going away for up to 2 weeks I wouldn't do anything, after than I'd get someone in. Think others have left them for longer. You'd be surprised at how much there is to eat in the tank.

if uve got plants its also good because the fish will eat off the plants........ive had week feeders and ive had no problems with my fish.
