[AquaticLife] vacation feeding
I put this aside to reply to last night, but never did get to it.
Well fed fish in well maintained aquaria can go 14 days without fresh food being introduced. For your short sojourn, you should be just fine, and come home to a tank of hungry fish. The water change before leaving is a very good plan, though, I fear, most people simply do not get to it before they leave, and I do plead guilty on this count myself upon occasion. If you are going for more than a few days, it would be worth your while to have a trusted person come in and check on your fish every few days, just to ensure that the tank is OK, the filter is still working, etc. You do not need to have them feed, just check, and give you a call about any problems noticed (”Dude, did you want to know that there is water all over the floor and not in the tank? Did you want me to do something about it, or just leave it until you get home?”)
