I appreciate more and more when Cory suggests “leave them alone” and “sometimes don’t do anything” as a solution to various fish situations. Obviously, as he always qualifies, there’s a time to treat in earnest and do a lot of maintenance! But... by way of illustration... we just returned from a two-week vacation. A grade school friend was invited to “feed fish if you’re able” once a day (she did great). But everything else went on hold.
We arrive home after vacation to loads of Killifish eggs hatched (Fundulopanchax Scheeli), Dwarf Gourami Fry (hard to see), and a handful of Goodeid fry (Xenotoca Doadrioi)
