Fish Food, Going On Holiday/vacation For 14 Days

[Dan-CR4]

Im shortly going over the pond to Orlando, Florida for 2 weeks and a bit worried about my fish......

I have

180 litre tank and the guests are :

9 x Rummynose Tetra (Hemigrammus bleheri)
4 x Keyhole Cichlid (Cleithracara maronii)
4 x Bolivian Ram (Mikrogeophagus altispinosus)
2 x Cockatoo Apisto (Apistogramma cacatuoides)
1 x Apistogramma borellii (Apistogramma borellii)
1 x Balloon Molly (Poecilia latipinna hybrid)
1 x Molly (Poecilia sphenops)
Loads of Malaysian Trumpet Snails

I got no one that can come in and sort my fish for me, will they be ok while im away, worried about how to feed them etc....

I seen they do 14 day blocks, but worried the snails will rise and gobble it all up before my fish get a chance to feed, if I do get blocks, how many do you think I should get for that many fish?

any ideas is very much appreciated, as I have had the fish over a year and dont want to lose them.

Those feeder blocks are awful, they just pollute the water and do little to aid fish nutrition, if possible get someone to feed them for your or use an automatic fish feeder.

Have you thought of using a bonded pet service or attache service of some sort? In many cities there are people who really want to make money and are willing to do all sorts of services for you, and among them are usually people who focus their services around pets. The bonding part means you are supposed to be insured against things happening. Often having a human come in just a few times can make a big difference, ensuring that things are found it they've gone wrong. Most of the time the little feeder machines are fine but there's nothing to say one wouldn't fail.
