Aquarium Advice Addict
When I went away and had someone feeding my tanks I used a pill box from the pharmacy for my weeks worth of food, this way all they had to do was open whatever day of the week it was and dump it in , also I could change the diet during the week as I normally would do. Some pharmacies will give you the pill box for free if you ask. Worked great for me
Thanks for the info. I may just not give the house-sitter feeding duties anymore. It might be easier to just fatten them up on bloodworms before leaving (provided that I won't be gone for longer than 6-7 days).
I've done one 50% WC and two 30% WCs today (good thing I work from home!) and my three remaining cories are more active now. The tank water still has about 0.15 ppm ammonia, but my nitrite is essentially zero. Double-dosing with Prime seems to help. I'll do another large WC in the morning.
