I have a 55g with small sized bala sharks, 10g neon tank, and
a 15g guppy tank. I have one automatic feeder. I'm going on vacation for 5 days... I know the fishs might survive, but would it be better if I put all of my fishs in the 55g? the 55g wouldn't be overstocked...


thanks

I wouldn't, just feed the fish well and do a water change before you go and you shouldn't have any problems - I've actually been gone for 10-14 days in the past and haven't had any fish loss over that period of time.

yeah hope it'll be alright, I just don't know if my guppy fries will survive hehe

What about my aquarium plants, I have wisterias. I guess the will be alright too without lights since they grow well with low light, right?

Or you could buy a cheap timer for them

Your fish will be fine for 5 days with no food. I bought a $5 timer for my lights and have never had to worry about the lights since.

Enjoy the holiday.

Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Yes, your fishies will be just fine for 5 days

And don't worry about the guppy fry:%)I had a guppy drop fry the afternoon we were to leave school for spring break (9 days off)...I gathered up mom, dad, and "friends"...and kts and I looked all through the crazy 10 gallon tank, taking out the decoration and all plants looking for any fry...we came to the conclusion that the "happy family" had eaten the fry:#(

Came back from spring break to find about a dozen fry happily swimming around the tank, healthy as can be...and even more happy to see the class since they were the ones to feed them

So listen to Old Timer, do a good water change on each tank, and feed them before you leave...have a great vacation and don't worry, they will be fine
