Fish Fanatic
I am going to be on holiday for 3 weeks over Christmas and new year his year. As you can imagine I have a problem with fish care over that period.
I have read a lot online about what to do, some people say leave the fish for 2-3 weeks and they'll be fine. Some say buy a auto feeder, the advice is confusing. Many say auto feeders are a waste of money and often clog.
I have a neighbour that can pop in and sprinkle some flakes in. However, how often would they NEED to be fed? Daily (as I do just now) isn't practical for my neighbour. So would 3 or 4 times over the course of the holiday suffice?
Also, I have Cory's, Otocinclus and dwarf frogs in the tank with guppies and platies. I feed the frogs bloodworms, however would they survive on flakes/algae wafers for the three weeks?
Water quality is an issue too as I do a 30% weekly change, however I think they'll have to stay in the same water for the three weeks as I have no one to change the water.
