Ironically, I’m wearing the same shirt in this video. Also very useful if your going on vacation: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gH112MynYaScltY.html
Thanks for your vid! I have balloon molly fry and normal molly fry and I went on vacation for a week. I did what u said and I came back to them really healthy!
Some very good tips for people who are on the fence about what to do to when preparing for a vacation. This is definitely worth an ounce of prevention. 😁
Nicely timed video my friend. I'm sure many people will find this useful.
We just toss a zucchini in the tanks before we leave and they eat it over the course of the week....been doing this for about 30 years works awesome....cheap and easy and doesn’t mess up the tank....👍

@@nickaatl8172 Wouldn’t necessarily count on it lasting for 30 days it would probably start to rot after about a week or so if they didn’t finish it 30 days is a long time we would recommend getting some Sort of automatic feeder for something to last a month like that
Helpful tips 👌🏾
Great video. I concur with everything
Never had any luck with auto feeders. We have house sitter and they watch our dogs so I put food in little plastic cups all measured out for each tank sitting next to tanks and the portions is smaller

Usually I have a person that can feed my fish while I'm gone but this time there isnt anybody so I think a auto feeder might be my only option since I'm going to be away for two weeks. I'll look at reviews for different feeders that can feed once a day for a few weeks.

Yeah thats the video(s), in which I like the most, I have several different fish feeders in which are on an automatic timer from the outlets.....😎😎😎
I've got the 1% of fish that need feeding frozen food twice a day. Seahorses. They're pretty but can be a pain in the you know what. My husband feeds my fish while I'm away. Thanks Zenzo.
That discus tank is gorgeous
Feeding your tanks is like a whole job/tour! You have so many of them! lol
Great video, what about a AC Predators tank with big boys 9-10 inches

Efrain's Cichlids If they are all big, it’s probably okay to leave them in the tank without food. If your worried about aggression, I’d put an auto feeder on the tank, and only drop a small amount of food each day. You can also lower the temperature by a couple of degrees.

There is a gap in the market for a fish food timer to feed nano fish, all i can seem to find would totally over feed.
I just wondering is it the same for The mudskippers? Thanks !!!

You will be fine leaving him unfed for 5 days. You can give him a little extra for 2-3 days before leaving so that he's well fed.

I'm leaving on vacation for 8 days. I have 14 tanks. I'm going to put pill boxes near each tank with the amount and mix for each day. For my son to feed them. I also will have sticky notes on each one that's needs worms, frozen ect. Ive been training him. Who knew leaving was going to make me worry so much. But my husband said I have to vacation with him. I cant stay home😒😕🤣

My grandson has 1 goldfish in a 10 gallon tank.we are going to be gone for 8 days. Do you recommend an automatic feeder? If so which kind is reliable and easy to use? Or can I not feed it for that amount of time? The fish is 1 year old and gets fed twice a day and is very healthy. Thanks for the video

I would recommend leaving it without food. If you are overly concerned, you could put a small amount of chopped or blanched spinach in the tank. It will nibble on it for a couple of days. If it were my goldfish, I would leave them unfed for 8 days.
anyone tried those weekender blocks ?
I'm going away for a month, we have a automatic food feeder but we don't know what to do with changing the water.

Pet sitter to maybe feed some tanks 2-3 times while I’m away. No more than that because of water changes. I’d probably also throw in a bunch of floating plants to help reduce nitrates.
are you sure my fish will be ok for 7 days? My fish is healing from very severe fin rot and he is making a slow recovery, it always makes me nervous to leave him alone and i just want to confirm him being ok alone. I think it will be more like 5 days of fasting because i can feed him right before i leave and right after i get back.

7 days for a healthy fish is fine. Not sure if your fish is ill and recovering though.
Also if one fish passes from hunter well your other fish will most likely eat it 😅
we'll be out for 1 month, what is your recommendation?

I would see about hiring someone to come 2-3 times per week to feed. Depending on your setup, you may also need a water change. If you have time and the resources, you can look to create an automated system of water changes and feeding.
