Andrew Puhr Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Hi everyone! My 5 gallon fluval spec tank will be left unattended for the next week while I am on vacation. It currently only has some bladder snails and some amano shrimp. The tank is about half full with java moss. Should I make arrangements to have someone drop some pellets in the tank or should I just leave it be and maybe up the light timer for some algae growth while I am gone?

DSH OUTDOORS Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I wouldn't change a thing. They will subsist on what is in the tank just fine over the 7 days. I have tried to change lighting while away in the past and came home to a green blob of algae that took weeks to clear up. Go on vacation and don't worry about them, enjoy yourself! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 they are scavengers, they will do just fine on their own for a week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
