Hey everyone!
Well thanks to a lot of help from some of you here on the site, I've got my 10 gallon tank successfully up and running for about 2-3 months now. Got 4 awesome female guppies in there that have been doing quite fine so far. I love the little guys .. Er, girls.
My husband and I will be going on vacation for the entire month of September (I know, still a long ways off) later this year and I have a few questions:
- How will they get fed?
- Can they survive for a whole month by themselves?
- Can the tank go for a whole month without any water changes?
We went on vacation last month for 4 days and they did absolutely fine. A month is a lot longer than 4 days though.
Also, we've had a few small power outages (1 hour at most w/o power) due to some severe storms out here recently. But it got me thinking again:
- What do you guys do in the event of a power loss?
- Do you have a backup generator?
- How long can the fish go without any circulation and/or heat in the tank?
Those are all my questions for now .. Im sure I'll have more for you guys later.
