Im Going Out Of Town For 10 Days

[Ficious]

i have 5 tanks running in my room and all but one have fish in them. i have an angel community with no small fish in it, one 5 gallon sparkling gourami tank, one 5 gal dwarf puffer tank (only eats frozen bloodworms), and a 36 gallon community based around 2 keyhole cichlids..and amano shrimp, neons, snails, khulis, small plecs. i plan on using a 7 day pyramid feed block for the 36 gall community but dont know what to do with the 5 gallons or angel fish.

Don't worry.... go and enjoy your 10 days, and come back and carry on as usual.....

I would have to agree. Fish can survive for weeks without food. Ten days will be no problem.

They will survive no problems for ten days,might want to do a decent water change before and after your break though.Have fun...........

Those food blocks are all well and good, unless you have lots of snails!
I went away and came back to find snails everywhere on the blocks and by the looks of it the fish hadnt got any at all!
Better off not feeding them at all, and save you're money if you have snails!

Add a battery powered air pump into the base of the filter if at all possible this will keep a small flow running in the event of a black out.
