Good news: I'm going on vacation!
Bad news: I'm leaving for about a week and I'm not sure how my betta fish will fare.
I bought one of those vacation feeders, but after reading a few reviews online I'm skeptical. The automatic feeder I bought dispenses too much food. I'm new to this city and don't know anyone who can take care of him while I'm away. Would y'all recommend I just not feed him for a week?
He's a male betta, fairly young and healthy. In fact, he made a bubble nest right around the Nitrite spike during cycling! He lives in a 5 gallon tank with a moss ball and some java ferns, and the tank is heated to 80 degrees F. I feed him two pellets each morning. I should mention that his tank is in the final stages of said cycling--after a test I did this morning:
pH: 7.8
Ammonia: 0.25 ppm
NitrITE: 0 ppm
NitrATE: 20 ppm
For fun, I attached a picture of him and his new coconut that he loves. Thank you in advance!
