Feeding/Vacation problem!

[emerald76]

I have two young fry in my tank and I am going away on vacation. I also have a lot of guppies, a betta, and Cories that need to be fed. I know that adults will be fine but I'm not sure what to do about the fry. I'm doing a water change beforehand.

How long you going to be gone

You could invest in an automatic fish feeder or ask a friend to feed them for you.

I think if you clean your water and do a good water change joy could just give them a LITTLE extra and they'll be fine

In the wild, fish can go days, even a couple weeks without food. I've let my fish (tetras cories shrimp snails) go a tad over a week without feeding. Feed them daily, and a bit more than your usual feeding amounts for a week and you'll be fine. Also do a big (like +50%) PWC right before you leave. Of you were gonna be gone like 2 or 3 weeks, I'd say an good auto feeder and a good friend to do a PWC would be in order.

Just throw a few vacation feeder blocks in there they will be fine

No it's fry I'm worried about. The adults will be fine I know.

Oooh, I missed the part about fry.
