Vacation food!!!

[saugata]

Hi! All,

I would like to buy a good quality vacation food for the 90g planted community tank and 20g tank whose sole occupant is an Oranda. Any pointers to this would be very helpful.

How long are you going for vacation???

cause normally vacation food would cloud the tank water...

If its around a week or so, u don't have to feed at all, they will still stay healthy..I done that many times....

I guess after reading the replies, I would rather install an auto-feeder then use vacation food.

Well, I would be away for about 15-20 days.

Also can somebody suggest a few good automated feeders? Especially the ones which will be available at Petmart Singapore?

If your fishes are well fed normally, they should be able to survive 21 days without feeding. But don't try it for small delicate fishes.

As for AutoFeeders, I think petmart carries several brands, including Rena and Hagen.

Cheers,

small fishes can survive a week or week and a half without food i think..

My tank has the following inmates:-

Platys, N. Tetras, Rummy Nose, Cardinal Tetras, American Flag Fish, Albino Cories, P.Denisonii, Cherry Barbs, Mollys, Madagascar Rainbows, Clown Loaches, Angels, Sword Tails, Veil tail barbs, Harlequins, dwarf gourami, SAEs

Thus, I guess I will have to go in for an auto-feeder.

Saugata, I'm using Eheim autofeeder. No complain so far.
