Going on vacation in June for 2 weeks and was wondering if my dwarf puffers can survive without eating?
On my other (community) tank I'm going to use my Eheim autofeeder which works great. I've used it in the past for a month long vacation and all my fish survived, albeit I had to do some major water changes. I had it on the lowest setting btw.
My newly acquired Puffers are another story. They'll only eat frozen bloodworms, so for obvious reasons an autofeeder wouldnt work. I also have no friends or neighbors in the area I can trust to feed them. Dont know what to do. I was thinking of adding some snails or something but the little tadpole pond snails get eaten up fast and the malaysian trumpets bury themselves in the sand and don't resurface. Anyone have any similar experience and a solution? Otherwise I'm just gonna have to go and keep my fingers crossed that they'll survive..
