Going On Holiday - Help

[fishprotector]

I am going to Florida tomorrow for 10 days to see my parents. My fiancee was meant to be looking after the fish but she has just left me this evening. I have no one else at all. Stocking lists are in my sig. Will they be ok??

Ten days is fine, provided the tanks are in good shape, and the fish are well fed beforehand.

My only slight worry would be the pictus (dependent on size), if they got hungry they may snack on their smaller community members...

I usually have to leave the fish in the lab without food for 3 weeks (thats about my limit) and have never lost one.

Thanks. The pictus are around 5 inches but the smallest fish (the barbs) are almost full size and very chunky. I do not think that it would fit in ones mouth at all. They all have bellies as well so hopefully they should be ok.

Good stuff

My routine is usually the night before I leave, decent water change, filters a brief rinse (not total clean - want to keep loading), and a final feed just before I go.

Sorry about your fiancee.
