Nate s Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I have glolight tetra fry that is 6 weeks old. I am going on vacation and don’t have anyone to feed them. There are maybe 20 in a 10 gallon. Been feeding brine shrimp daily. I know all my other fish will be fine for the week but I’m worried about the fry tank i have plants and magnolia leaves in the tank and I plan on doing a water change before I leave and adding a bunch of infusoria/small little white critters that are in one of my other tanks. Will they be okay for the week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Hope they will be! Wonder if you could add any gel foods or community wafers that would take time to disolve? Something that wouldn't effect the water too much but would be available along the bottom in case they get desperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudofish Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Maybe get an autofeeder? I've never tried one of those but I know adult fish can go longer without food than fry can so I'd consider one for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anewbie Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I wouldn't use an autofeeder with frys. They need extremely clean water and over feeding is going to end in disaster. I'd put them in a pail and take them with me 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate s Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 I’m going to hope there is enough micro fauna in the aquarium. They are relatively easy to breed I just did it for fun to grow my school from 18 to 40 or so in my 55 apisto tank. I can always replicate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
