Now Has A List Of People Not To Leave Looking After My Tank

I would never use a vacation feeder anyway.

I'm going to New York next month and will be gone from friday evening, to the following sunday evening (8 and a half days). I'll feed as normal on the friday before I go, and my mum is going to come in on the wednesday and tip the little baggy of food I'll leave into the tank (2 pinches of flake and 1 algae wafer). Then they should be ok until I get back, and no overfeeding problems.

To be fair to my nephew, he read the back of the flake food box and it says "feed 3 times daily", so he's only 11, and he was trying to do the right thing (and probably though I was being mean lol). So he CAN follow instructions, just not mine >.<

i think if i was left in the water that long i'd foul it pretty bad.

Willowstwin, have you posted in the Tropical emergencies section? There are people that hang out there that are far better at disease diagnosis than those of us here. I am afraid I am totally useless at disease since I never seem to see any. I only buy fish from other hobbyists and their fish are always healthy so I simply have no experience with disease other than ich. I can say rather firmly that you do not have ich in your tank.
