October 19, 200619 yr comment_126796 Howdy all, Will a 4ft community tank be OK for 3 days over the long weekend, or should I get someone to feed them? How about a tank with a couple of youngish discus? I figured that if I give them a nice feed of bloodworms before i go, they should be fine - am I right? Cheers, Report
October 19, 200619 yr comment_126799 I leave my 4ft community for a week at a time. It is well established and mature. Never had a problem (excpet for when the heaterstat jammed). They will survive 3 days no problem. If you can feed them live foods it would be better. Don't overfeed the bloodworms as they may pollute the tank. Report
October 19, 200619 yr Author comment_126804 Thanks Caryl I might have to shake off a few roses - plenty of aphids for the fish at the moment Report
October 19, 200619 yr comment_126811 give your discus a good feed and then a w/c a few hours later so they have sparkly clean water while your gone theyll be fine without a feed but you can expect some excitment to see you when you come home :lol: Report
October 19, 200619 yr comment_126817 Sharn is spot on with the waterchange. Just do a waterchange before you go. Food is not crucial. Ron Report
October 19, 200619 yr comment_126872 and they'll love the aphids! I assume you don't use sprays in your garden? If you do, don't feed the critters to the fish. Report
