First time leaving fish for vacation

Wow, two months seems like too long, but I am almost always raising some fry or juvies. They would not do well that long unless I stuck them in a tank bombed with green, which I think I may do next month.

For the livebearers floating plants, some algae and leaf litter should be good enough even for fry. I will use an auto feeder on my tetra tank. I have a school of Red Serpaes. They aren't nipping fins at all yet and I'd like to keep it that way.
