5 Days without Food?


300Magnum

Recommended Posts

I use feeder blocks in fry tanks of African cichlids if I need to leave them for any more than a couple of days.  I have had disasters using autofeeders, but no issues with the blocks.  Ive used a variety of brands, but are currently using Sera.  I understand that the plaster based blocks may cause issues with ph in soft water tanks, but Ive had no problems in higher ph african tanks.

What size are the fry and what food are you feeding?

A super simple DIY feeder for dry fry food is a container (with the food) with a small hole drilled in bottom. Attach a mobile phone on vibrate alert and call it when you want to feed the fish. You can feed as long or as often as you want. ALDI have Telstra network SIM cards for $5. No credit is needed on the SIM to call it. 

Do recommend you practice this well before you leave home.
