Vacation and i got fry!

[Fishie]

I'm going to be gone for 3-4 days on Friday. I wanna how to feed my fry and my other fish. How to I know if they had enough??

 

[LyndaB]

The fry could present an issue as they should be feeding multiple times per day. The other fish can go without for the time you're gone.

Do you have a friend/neighbor you can get to drop by?

Oh ok thanks . If I'm lucky I can get a friend how much should I pay?

 

[LyndaB]

If it's a real friend, you shouldn't have to pay anything.....

That said, if you're asking someone to stop by at least 3 times per day, you should at least give them $25. It's really up to you.

Buy them lunch... Shouldn't have to pay friends

Thanks! Trying to get it figured all out and I might be doing that!

Automatic feeder? Crush up some flakes then it will do rest?

 

[LyndaB]

No, an auto feeder won't work as your fry should feed multiple times per day but your adult fish should not. Plus, auto feeders quite often foul the tank.

 

[Fishie]

I'm person I might hire wont come on Christmas to feed will they survive without food for 1 day?

 

[LyndaB]

If that's your only option, then hope for the best. They'll probably be fine.

 

[Fishie]

Thanks for all your helpz otherwise they mighta be dead !

 

[LyndaB]

Hope it all works out.

Good quote I heard once.

"Dont worry about your fish dying of hunger. They'll only be hungry until the first one dies"

 

[meegosh]

Exactly aqua_chem. Sounds cruel/sick whatever you want to call it, but it is the truth. Also, assuming your tank is established, there are plenty of tiny microorganisms for the fry to munch on.

 

[LyndaB]

Oh my Lord...... that is too funny, although it shouldn't be.

Thanks everyone all my fry and fish are alive and well. All 43 fry are alive and well. Grew half a centimeter 2 weeks old
