Just realized today that I will leave home for 3 weeks, leaving 4 tanks with my lovely completey-not-interested-in-fish boyfriend.
Panic!
I've left tanks for 2 weeks, but never 3. And I didn't have 3 month old platy fry and an Endler colony at the time.
I'm a little worried about my mystery snails. They get hungry quite quickly and they munch my plants when they do.
But I also don't want to feed my tanks for the sake of water quality! But the BNP needs veggies, as I have no algae for her to eat anymore. So i guess the fry can live off zucchini and peas for a while.
I think I'll put a bunch of hornwort in each tank, as anything will help....
Should I take the risk of letting the boyfriend do water changes on the tanks that will need it most? I don't trust him with a siphon and bucket at all.
