Pro-tip, hide the containers that hold all the actual food. Or at least try to store the containers not in plain sight or easy to find. So many people do not understand that fish don't need that much food and are not "starving" when they rush forward begging. So even after you prepare measured portions they try to feed more. Only leave out what they are to feed. Don't leave the rest in easy access.
Don't use that chalky time release food, I came back to cloudy water n dead fish .. The auto feeders , they're great BUT double check to make sure it's working properly, I had one that malfunction and continuously dump food into the tank. Good thing I check before I used it .
I always invite a close friend over and go over all the care of our pets before we go on a trip. I just text her a few times over the vacation and l make sure it's all going good. Really does help you relax
Can't wait to see the angels. I have went on vacation for a week and didn't have anyone feed my fish and they were fine. So no foods better than too much. If I go longer I only ask my dad to feed every second day and it works perfectly for me.
Hey John...I don't think u have responded to anything else I've commented on in the past...But I know your a busy busy busy guy! ;-) I left my fish while I was away on holiday for 9 days...My friend fed all my tanks out in my fish hut...My main had an auto feeder (With a half dose of food funnily enough) & there was 2 mbuna fry left in a 30" 90 litre tank totally unattended(Missed them when I moved out the others to the fish hut)They were double the size of all the others that had been fed every day? I'm guessing they just glazed on algae maybe? :-D
What about guppy fry? I can’t have anyone come and I will be leaving them for 2-3 days. Will they be fine? The local pet stores are closed so I can’t buy an automatic feeder and I’m leaving tomorrow morning.
hey john just want to know wat happens when a african cichlid has babies with my convict cichlid will it be ok i have 3 fry,s i see rite now will they become aggressive towards the others lol never thought that would happen but it did looking foward to see wat they look like when they grow up
Doug C Yeah isn't that funny lol. Whoever did that does it on every one of my videos, it's almost like some nerd that set up an app to automatically dislike my videos lol. What this loser doesn't realize is he/she is still giving me a view which means he/she instead of hurting my feelings is actually helping me ha ha ha!!

I just bought a automatic feeding machine for food which can be adjusted and do a 60-70% water change just before I go fish are always perfectly fine

The best thing is to have family especially older sister or brothers and show they how much to feed

Definitely a good topic. We had to pull carpet before because of a slow drip out of a filter that defected.
That is great! I actually live in Hilton Head Island (right next to Pairs Island) so if you don't get to go to the beach you can always stop by.
Hey John. What do you do if you are going to be gone for only a week?
Great video and information for everyone! Congrats on the Graduation USMC David!
Paul Martin Thanks Paul and THANKS for the raffle tickets!! Lisa should be doing the drawing in the next couple of days, good luck my friend!!

U didnt mention those fish blocks, esp ones that work for bettas
that angel tank would look good with some plants if you want some that are easy try anubias or java fern or even some amazon swords

Do you leave the lights on?

Good info, are those holiday/vacation blocks, a waste of time?
What if I go away for two weeks??

Great topic John! Awesome idea.

In other words if no friend is available to feed the fish then don't go away for more than a couple of days .... Ever
